Six thinking hats by
Edward De Bono(
Book
)
196 editions published between 1985 and 2019 in 11 languages and held by 2,915 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Thinking often proceeds as drift and waffle and reaction," writes de Bono. In this book, he presents a way to become a better thinker. He separates thinking into six distinct modes, identified with six colored "thinking hats": White: facts, figures, and objective information; Red: emotions and feelings; Black: logical negative thoughts; Yellow: positive constructive thoughts; Green: creativity and new ideas; and Blue: control of the other hats and thinking steps. "Putting on" a hat focuses thinking; "switching" hats redirects thinking. With the different parts of the thinking process defined, discussions can be better focused and more productive. Using real-life situations as examples, de Bono creates scenarios that show how the effective use of "thinking hats" can: focus thinking more clearly; lead to more creative thinking; and improve communication and thus decision-making

Lateral thinking : creativity step by step by
Edward De Bono(
Book
)
47 editions published between 1970 and 2015 in English and Undetermined and held by 1,263 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"This book is intended for use both at home and at school. At school the emphasis has traditionally always been on vertical thinking which is effective but incomplete. This book is about lateral thinking which is the process of using information to bring about creativity and insight restructuring. Lateral thinking can be learned, practiced and used. It is impossible to acquire skill in it just as it is possible to acquire skill in mathematics."--From back cover

Teach your child how to think by
Edward De Bono(
Book
)
34 editions published between 1992 and 2017 in 6 languages and held by 1,205 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Our increasingly complicated lifestyle demands clear and constructive thinking: making decisions, making choices, taking initiatives, and being creative. Watching television for twenty to thirty hours a week, as many children do, results in a passive mind that can only copy what others are doing (including drugs, sex, and violence). Give your children a better chance in life. Thinking is a skill ... even a superior brain is wasted without it. You can start to teach your children to think - now. With examples, exercises, games, and drawings, Dr. de Bono, Rhodes scholar and leading authority on the direct teaching of thinking, demonstrates the difference between intelligence and thinking, and provides a step-by-step method for helping children develop clear and constructive thinking. Even one or two thinking habits taken from this book and given to your children may strongly affect their life

The five-day course in thinking by
Edward De Bono(
Book
)
76 editions published between 1967 and 2016 in 5 languages and held by 952 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
"Edward de Bono believes that thinking is an enjoyable skill, that it is neither a painfully boring duty nor a pile of facts and semantic tricks. This skill can be developed directly - not as the by-product of a conventional education spent learning something else. This book offers a series of simple, but intriguing problems in thinking that require no special knowledge and no mathematics. The problems are designed to let the reader find out about his own personal style of thinking, its weakness and strenghts, and the methods, latent in himself, that he never uses. Being right is not always important - an error can lead to the right decision." --Publishers description

Children solve problems by
Edward De Bono(
Book
)
39 editions published between 1972 and 1993 in 3 languages and held by 785 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Children solve problems effortlessly. Their ideas may often be impractical, but they produce them with a fluency, a zest and an irrepressible imagination which ought to be the envy of many an adult, and especially those who are paid to solve difficult problems. Nevertheless, it is primarily as a fascinating insight into the processes of the mind that Edward de Bono offers this very rich collection of children's thinking. The nine tasks the children were set included a machine to weigh elephants, a system for building a house quickly, a sleep machine, a space rocket, improvements to the human body, and methods of helping the police deal with bad men. Each task was carefully chosen to involve the children in coping with problems of a distinct character, and Edward de Bono's introductions and commentaries point out many insights into the childhood imagination and world view

Conflicts : a better way to resolve them by
Edward De Bono(
Book
)
33 editions published between 1985 and 2018 in 3 languages and held by 700 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Think don't fight. In today's world we use an out of date thinking system to navigate our way through modern society, especially when it comes to conflicts and disagreements. Conflicts argues that instead of our age old system of debate we should instead adopt a `design idiom' and use lateral thinking to navigate a feud. If two parties think their argument is best, we should be introducing a third party role. De Bono explains how this concept of triangular thinking and map making is the way forward. By highlighting how the current system holds us back and offering practical alternatives De Bono paves the way for fundamental shift in conflict resolution
