Seller's Description:
Very good. Connecting readers with great books since 1972! Used books may not include companion materials, and may have some shelf wear or limited writing. We ship orders daily and Customer Service is our top priority!
Although this book is not current, it reminds us of the value of examining others' thoughts
to gain insight into our own thinking.
This book has helped me to critique my own
personal thinking through detailed descriptions of varied thinking processes.
Dr. de Bono has given the reader a
text to use in problem solving both on an individual level and a group level.
This book, and his other book The Six Thinking Hats, would be great additions to anyone's library.
