"Edward de Bono is considered by many to be the leading authority in the world on the direct teaching of thinking as a skill."

One of the books I read on and off... too much to absorb, certainly too much to remember and spew forth, the kind of book that reminds and instructs anew.
It's about thinking, how do to it, and what it's not and what is not thinking

I read this book because, print designer, Stefan Sagmeister recommended it in a Q&A—De Bono's 'Thinking Course' shows many exercises on how you can improve your thinking. The brain, by necessity is very good at thinking automatically. But when it comes to creative ideas, the brain also wants to think in repetition. So DeBono shows you some ways to trick the brain out of thinking in repetitions, to throw it out of its regular paths. I think ALL designers (or anyone) should read this book. DeB

Presents a number of techniques, some invented by the author on how to think, which involves a higher level of skill than expected.

Truly mind-expanding. Read at 12 years of age - made the grey matter even sharper (in my humble opinion! LOL!)

Edward De Bono has written many books and each book has something special to each of them. This book could be considered as a concise version of everything what De Bono has taught over several years in several books. It's concise so it could feel truncated as well. I liked it but I wonder how an absolute beginner to De Bono's work would find it. It should have been a bit more comprehensive in case of exercises in after each chapter.

نکات مفید و جالبی در این کتاب بود از جمله تکنیک هایی برای فکر کردن یا درست فکر کردن. اما ترجمه نه چندان خوب کتاب باعث شد نتونم تا انتها پیش برم! امیدوارم متن اصلی رو پیدا کنم

Buku ini aku jumpa dan baca di library kolej, dengan harapan supaya mudah terlena sementara menunggu kelas petang. Ambil masa yang agak lama untuk habiskan seluruh buku. Tak pasti samada aku sebenarnya mampu berenang dalam lautan De Bono ataupun sudah tenggelam lemas.

This book offers many techniques for analyzing and improving your thinking skills. Be sure to copy down the procedural steps as they will fade from memory after a while.
