The first practical explanation of how creativity works, this results-oriented bestseller trains listeners to move beyond a "vertical" mode of thought to tap the potential of lateral thinking.
Suffering from writer's block?
Wish you were more inventive?
Perhaps, like most of us, you were taught to think vertically to solve problems by going from one logical step to the next.
In this international best seller, Dr. de Bono shows how lateral thinking can free your creative mind.
Learn to hone your thinking skills and discover powerful yet simple techniques to help you generate idea after idea.
Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic.
Critical thinking is primarily concerned with judging the true value of statements and seeking errors.
Lateral thinking is more concerned with the movement value of statements and ideas.
A person uses lateral thinking to move from one known idea to creating new ideas.
Edward de Bono defines four types of thinking tools:
Idea generating tools that are designed to break current thinking patterns, routine patterns, and the status quo
Focus tools that are designed to broaden where to search for new ideas
Harvest tools that are designed to ensure more value is received from idea generating output
Treatment tools that are designed to consider real-world constraints, resources, and support
