Edward de Bono is awesome! Become a more interesting person!

Learning how to think and use your brain is as important as learning to read, write or do maths. Among other things this book teaches you there is an art to disagreement, how to be interesting, how to listen and how to make sense of emotions and feelings. Edward de Bono is most famous for developing the concept of "lateral thinking" and the idea of the "Six Thinking Hats".

About the Author

Edward de Bono studied at Christ Church, Oxford (as a Rhodes Scholar). He also holds a PhD from Cambridge and an MD from the University of Malta. He has held appointments at the universities of Oxford, London, Cambridge and Harvard. In 1967 de Bono invented the now commonly used term 'lateral thinking' and, for many thousands, indeed millions, of people worldwide, his name has since become a symbol of creativity and new thinking. He has written numerous books, which have been translated into 34 languages, and his advice is sought by Nobel laureates and world leaders alike. www.debono.com
