Description
Lateral Thinking: The classic work about improving creativity and thinking more productively.
This is the classic work on improving creativity from world-renowned writer and philosopher Edward de Bono.
In schools, we are taught to meet problems head-on—what Edward de Bono calls 'vertical thinking'. This approach works well in simple situations, but we often find ourselves at a loss when it fails. Lateral thinking is all about freeing up your imagination.
Through a series of special techniques, whether in groups or working alone, Edward de Bono shows us how to look at problems from a variety of angles, offering solutions that are as ingenious as they are effective. After reading this book, you will become a much more productive and formidable thinker.
