De Bono’s Thinking Course teaches us to think more clearly, broadly, and effectively by outlining the tools of thinking in a practical, easy-to-follow manner and by showing readers how to use those tools constructively. In this updated edition of his popular guide, you will learn the importance of perceptions and patterns in the thinking process, develop your lateral thinking skills, and master techniques for applying thought to information. You’ll even hone thinking skills that will help you get along with other people, incorporate emotions and values into your thought processes, and make wiser and clearer decisions. Next you’ll find out how skillful thinking leads to effective action and learn how to solve virtually any problem with deliberate, focused, confident thought.
