7245 SF Parallel Thinking. In this provocative masterpiece of creative thinking, Edward de Bono argues for a game changing new way to think. For thousands of years we have followed the thinking system designed by the Greek philosophers Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, based on analysis and argument. But if we are to flourish in todays rapidly changing world we need to free our minds of these "boxes" and embrace a more flexible and nimble model. With Parallel Thinking, de Bono unveils unique methods of brainstorming and explains preconceived ideas of what creativity involves and is. This book is not about philosophy; it is about the practical (and parallel) thinking required to get things done in an ever changing world.
