Think!

Think!, Before it's Too Late--------------------------------------------------The world is full of problems and conflicts. So why can we not solvethem? According to Edward de Bono, world thinking cannot solve worldproblems because world thinking is itself the problem. And this isgetting worse: we are so accustomed to readily available informationonline that we search immediately for the answers rather than thinkingabout them. Our minds function like trying to drive a car using onlyone wheel. There's nothing wrong with that one wheel - conventionalthinking - but we could all get a lot further if we used all four...DeBono examines why we think the way we do from a historical perspectiveand uses some of his famous thinking techniques combined with new ideasto show us how to change the way we think. If we strengthen our abilityand raise our thinking level, other areas of our life - both personaland business success - will improve. De Bono is the master of the originalbig 'concept' book and his enticement to us to use our minds as constructivelyas possible should appeal to a whole new generation of fans.--------------------------------------------------Author Biography: Edward de Bono studied at Christ Church, Oxford (asa Rhodes Scholar).
