London: Penguin Books Ltd Light Creasing on Front, Rear Covers; Front, Rear Covers, Spine Lightly Chipped; Slight Yellowing Due to Age. SYNOPSIS: "Thinking is the Ultimate Human Resource". And yet most people, convinced they are competent at thinking (like humour and sex), make no efforts to improve. Here Edward de Bono, the celebrated lateral thinker whose ideas have influenced governments and major companies the world over, shows us how to streamline our minds with six thinking hats - a brilliant new method to tackle any problem. Put on a black hat for a critical viewpoint or a yellow one for sunny optimism! A green hat brings a wealth of creative ideas! Try white for neutrality and red for emotion! And then, once you've generated a whole range of possible solutions, sort them out! (A sky-blue hat will give you a detached overview.) The results will prove amazingly effective! Edward de Bono was born in Malta and was initially educated at St Edward's College, Malta, and the Royal University of Malta, where he obtained a degree in medicine. He proceeded as a Rhodes Scholar to Christchurch, Oxford, where he gained an honours degree in psychology and physiology and then a D.Phil. in medicine. He also holds a Ph.D. from Cambridge. He has had faculty appointments at the universities of Oxford, London, Cambridge and Harvard. Dr Edward de Bono is widely regarded as the leading authority in the direct teaching of thinking as a skill. He originated the concept of lateral thinking (which now has an entry in the Oxford English Dictionary) and developed formal techniques for deliberate creative thinking. He has written fifty-four books, which have been translated into thirty-three languages, and has made two television series. He has also made a feature film entitled 2040. Dr. de Bono has been invited to lecture in forty-eight countries and to address major international conferences. In 1989 he was asked to chair a special meeting of Nobel Prize Laureates. His instruction in thinking has been sought by many of the leading business corporations in the world such as IBM, NTT (Japan), Du Pont, Prudential, Shell, Eriksson, McKinseys, Ciba-Geigy, Ford, Siemens and many others. Dr de Bono runs the largest curriculum programme for the direct teaching of thinking in schools. This is in use in many countries around the world. He is the founder of the Cognitive Research Trust (1969), which brings together many of the leading corporations in the world. The L-Game, of which he is the inventor, was said to be the simplest real game ever invented. His new game is even simpler, and may be the first "social justice" game ever invented. Dr de Bono's work is based on his understanding of the mind as a self-organizing information system. His work is in the boardrooms of the world's largest corporations and also with schoolchildren in rural South Africa and Khmer villages in Cambodia.. First Thus 2nd Printing. Trade Paperback. Fine.
