In January of 1982, a young man perched himself on the roof of a building in Los Angeles. As he prepared to jump from the building, Muhammad Ali’s public relations manager spotted him. He saw the officers trying to talk him down. He got straight on the phone to the heavyweight champion who rushed to the scene and climbed up the stairs to the suicidal man.

1. Actual Problem Solving

(When I asked my friends for ideas on this topic, almost all of them said this)

So we all know about Johnny and his 50 industrial sized packets of Cheetos, each containing about 3072 Cheetos each, and that he has approximately 153,600 Cheetos—but he also has a serious addiction problem. And Johnny is your best friend and roommate. How do you tell him he needs to get help, maybe make some changes in his life, for his own good? How do you tell him that the rent was due a month ago and you just aren’t as passionate about Cheetos as he is?
