About the Book
Six Thinking Hats can help you think better - with its practical and uniquely
positive approach to making decisions and exploring new ideas. It is an approach that
thousands of business managers, educators and government leaders around the world have
already adopted with great success.
"The main difficulty of thinking is confusion," writes Edward de Bono, long recognized
as the foremost international authority on conceptual thinking and on the teaching of
thinking as a skill. "We try to do too much at once. Emotions, information, logic, hope
and creativity all crowd in on us. It is like juggling with too many balls." The
solution? De Bono unscrambles the thinking process with his "six thinking hats".
Through case studies and real-life examples, Dr. de Bono reveals the often surprising
ways in which deliberate role playing can make you a better thinker. He offers a
powerfully simple tool that you - and your business, whether it's a start-up or a major
corporation - can use to create a climate of clearer thinking, improved communication, and
greater creativity. His book is an instructive and inspiring text for anyone who makes
decisions, in business or in life.
