Publisher Description

The world is full of problems and conflicts. So why can we not solve them? According to Edward de Bono, world thinking cannot solve world problems because world thinking is itself the problem. And this is getting worse: we are so accustomed to readily available information online that we search immediately for the answers rather than thinking about them.

Our minds function like trying to drive a car using only one wheel. There's nothing wrong with that one wheel - conventional thinking - but we could all get a lot further if we used all four.

De Bono examines why we think the way we do from a historical perspective and uses some of his famous thinking techniques combined with new ideas to show us how to change the way we think.

If we strengthen our ability and raise our thinking level, other areas of our life - both personal and business success - will improve.

De Bono is the master of the original big 'concept' book and his enticement to us to use our minds as constructively as possible should appeal to a whole new generation of fans.

"The latest from Edward De Bono - the man who thinks, talks and teaches about thinking. Relatively easy read - but keep in mind I have read a number of his previous books. His focus has gravitated toward social problems as opposed to business problems."

    " The book repeats the insights expressed in the introduction ad nauseum, interspersed with the author's accounts of all his successes. He says these stories aren't intended as boasts, but the way they are presented suggests otherwise. Wordy, fluffy, bad. "

    " Some good ideas throughout the book, but my feeling is that it's a bunch of blog posts collected in the same field - the importance of thinking. What killed me as well, is the repetion of some of the facts and arguments. I guess De Bono's other books are better than this one! "
