Six Thinking Hats: The Power of Focused Thinking

Dr de Bono presents a simple and effective way to become a more skillful and productive thinker. Using real-life situations, he shows you how to separate your thinking into six distinct modes. Each is identified with a different colour 'thinking hat.' For instance, the Red Hat signifies emotional thinking. By mentally donning and switching 'Hats' you easily focus or re-direct your thought.

'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 the six thinking hays - 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 have generated a whole range of possible solutions, sort them out! (A sky-blue hat will give you a detached view.)

The results will prove amazingly effective!
