The classic work about improving creativity, and thinking more productively.

THE classic work about improving creativity from world-renowned writer and philosopher Edward de Bono

In schools we are taught to meet problems head-on- what Edward de Bono calls 'vertical thinking'. This works well in simple situations - but we are at a loss when this approach fails.

Lateral thinking is all about freeing up your imagination.

Through a series of special techniques, in groups or working alone, Edward de Bono shows us how to look at problems from a variety of angles and in so doing offer up solutions that are as ingenious as they are effective. After reading this book you will become a much more productive and formidable thinker.

Reviews for Lateral Thinking: A Textbook of Creativity

If more bankers and traders had read Lateral Thinking and applied the ideas of Edward de Bono to their own narrow definitions of risk, reward and human expectations, I suspect we would be in much better shape than we are. Sir Richard Branson
