false 4066075 1 Attention is a key part of thinking clearly and productively, and yet we pay very little attention to attention itself. If you see someone lying injured in the middle of the road, for example, your attention would go to that person but, if a bright pink dog wandered past at the same time, your attention would automatically stray to the dog. That is precisely the weakness of attention - it is pulled to the unusual. How much attention do we pay to the usual? So, what can we do about it? Instead of waiting for attention to be pulled towards something unusual, we can set out frameworks for 'directing' our attention in a conscious manner.Just as we can decide to look north, west or even south-east, so we can set up a framework for directing our attention, and that's where Edward de Bono's 'six frames' come in. Each frame is a direction or method in/with which to look, based on a different shape - triangle, circle, heart, square, diamond, slab. Today we are literally surrounded by information and it has never been so easy to obtain. Yet, information itself is not enough; it's how we look at it that really counts. Using the 'six frames' technique is the key to extracting real value from the masses of facts and figures out there and, like all de Bono's techniques, it is simple, effective and will utterly change the way you interpret information. 4113159 7 8 2008 Six Frames total:3|5:1|4:1|2:1| 3 11 7 1 4066075 0091924197 9780091924195 3 1 3.67 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4066075.Six_Frames 0 0 false Mon Jan 19 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 21 05:06:43 -0800 2009 Wed Jan 21 05:10:29 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4066075 0091924197 9780091924195 3 1 3.67 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4066075.Six_Frames 0 0 false Sun Nov 29 23:34:55 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 29 23:35:00 -0800 2009 4066075 0091924197 9780091924195 3 1 3.67 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4066075.Six_Frames 2 0 false Tue Sep 29 16:11:41 -0700 2009 Tue Sep 29 16:11:41 -0700 2009 4066075 0091924197 9780091924195 3 1 3.67 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4066075.Six_Frames 4 0 false Fri Sep 11 14:20:39 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 14:20:39 -0700 2009 4066075 0091924197 9780091924195 3 1 3.67 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4066075.Six_Frames 5 0 false Mon Sep 07 12:34:10 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 07 12:34:10 -0700 2009 4066075 0091924197 9780091924195 3 1 3.67 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4066075.Six_Frames 0 0 false Fri Jun 05 15:29:04 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 05 15:31:02 -0700 2009 4066075 0091924197 9780091924195 3 1 3.67 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4066075.Six_Frames 0 0 false Thu Dec 25 20:00:56 -0800 2008 Thu Dec 25 20:01:00 -0800 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=4066075
