Edward de Bono
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1992
Out of the Box Thinking from the Man who invented it.
A Rhodes scholar, medical doctor, university professor, worldwide consultant and inventor of "lateral thinking," the actually precursor of what we have come to label as "out-of-the-box-thinking," renaissance man Edward de Bono, tells us in this book, how creative thinking is done and how it is to be put to good use in solving the most intractable problems facing mankind.

Serious Creativity: Using the Power of Lateral Thinking to Create New Ideas 8 reviews
Edward De Bono
HarperBusiness, 1993
buy only this one...
By now I think I have read about fifteen of De Bono's books and this is certainly the best. Many of the others seem to be mostly regurgitations of the the same old stuff. Does he get paid by the word? He claims to have written about 25 books, but I think he has to a great extent written one book over and over again. And he seems so pompous and arrogant. How can someone with such arrogance be ...

Creativity Workout: 62 Exercises to Unlock Your Most Creative Ideas 1 review
Edward de Bono
Ulysses Press, 2008
Creativity Workout
What comes to mind when you think of creativity? Do you naturally associate creativity and artistic talent? Have you always assumed that creativity is something that just happens, that it can't be forced?
In reality, creating ad hoc without direction or objective generally accomplishes very little. Lateral thinking, on the other hand, brings forth alternatives and possibilities that are ...

Six Thinking Hats54 reviews
Edward de Bono
Back Bay Books, 1999
"Hats" is a winner.
While it is an artificial construct, the six hats described in this book can be a significant tool for fostering understanding of multiple facets of any problem and the particular dispositions people may have toward solving them. I am looking forward to using this concept in my fall courses to help students construct new knowledge.

Teach Your Child How to Think 6 reviews
Edward de Bono
Penguin (Non-Classics), 1994
Wish I'd Learned Thinking Tools at Age 15
I am thoroughly impressed with Edward De Bono's matter-of-fact, wholly insightful, and unique yet practical work(s) published in the field of Thinking over the last four decades. After listening to De Bono's taped works (such as "Teach Your Child How to Think"), I was both saddened and amazed to realize how limited in scope were the types and tools of thinking I was taught at all levels of ...

As long as you are accurate at measuring and cutting, you should find this book easy to work with, even if you are a complete ...

Lateral Thinking: Creativity Step by Step (Perennial Library)16 reviews
Edward De Bono
Harper Paperbacks, 1973
Creativity in a Bottle
In my view, this is the best of the de Bono series of more than 30 books. It is as advertised: A step-by-step introduction to the art and science of creative thinking.
It shows the reader with a staple of de Bono's -- his graphs and diagrams - how to get over the threshold from just ordinary (right brain thinking) or "linear thinking" to (left brain thinking) or "lateral thinking," that is to ...

Conflicts in the business world often arise because of a clash of values, and it is therefore essential that companies, managers, and employees all have a full understanding of the values at play. This pioneering study provides a basis for values assessment and explains how values come into all areas of ...

The Brainwashing of the American Investor: The book that Wall Street does not want you to read!31 reviews
Steven R. Selengut
W&A Publishing, 2007
The Best Investment Book I Have Ever Read
As I write this (11-27-2007), the markets are getting ready to open after closing down the previous day. The Dow Jones industrial average has fallen nearly 240 points and the headline in the local paper is screaming "Wall Street suffers another big hit." Serious-faced announcers on cable-TV are saying the Dow is down 10.03 percent from its mid-October closing high, officially putting the blue ...

Later, I went on to acquire & read his 'Tactics; The Art & ...

Peter and the Wolf10 reviews
Sergei Prokofiev, Gavin Friday and The Friday-Seezer Ensemble
Bloomsbury USA, 2003
Highly recommended!
When I was a little girl I loved to listen to the story of Peter and the Wolf. As an adult, I have grown to love celtic music and traditional Irish instruments. So when this set came out I was eager to purchase it -- and I was thrilled with what I got. The music is beautifully performed by the Friday-Seezer ensemble. Each instrument comes alive as the animal it is supposed to represent. While ...

Excellent!!! Pam Bono scores again!!!
Whenever I buy a quilting book (which isn't very often because many of them are more of the same patterns) I look for the name Pam Bono. Her designs are unique. The instructions are clear and if they are followed, end with a quilt that can be displayed with pride. The blocks use enough variation in technique and color that I am never bored while I am piecing. Thank-you so much for sharing ...

How to Have Creative Ideas: 62 games to develop the mind2 reviews

62 Ways to be creative
The brain is a self-organizing system and thus has evolved to use logic and linear reasoning as the basic mental instrument to form stable symmetric or rational patterns. This is done primarily in order better to deal with a stable universe. Doing so has for many eons been basic to human survival. However, over time it was discovered that asymmetric or novel, or counter-intuitive thinking, or ...
