Celebrating Edward de Bono<\/span><\/h1>\n

To celebrate Edward de Bono’s birthday on the 19th<\/sup> May here is a short post about his life.<\/p>\n

Who is Edward de Bono?<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

Edward de Bono was a Maltese\/British businessman, born on this day in 1933. He made it his mission to teach his thinking methods to governments and businesses around the world. He wrote 84 books that have been translated into 46 languages, but he\u2019s perhaps best known for his \u201csix thinking hats\u201d.\u00a0 These six hats \u2013 or different aspects of thinking \u2013 are colour coded to denote control, creativity, feelings, positivity, caution and factual information.<\/p>\n

De Bono believed that by learning how to use these different ways of thinking, we can all become more effective and work with greater collaboration and communication in our personal and professional lives. It was his passion to prove that creative and effective thinking can be taught and learned using structures and systematic techniques.<\/p>\n

While his business methods became hugely influential, de Bono was not without his detractors. Some academic critics say his ideas weren\u2019t tested and don\u2019t stand up to scrutiny when they are.<\/p>\n

Lateral Thinking<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

When Edward de Bono coined the term \u201clateral thinking\u201d in 1967, he wasn\u2019t inventing a new concept. Instead, it was just a different way of looking at an old one.\u00a0 De Bono took his inspiration from the behaviour of self-organizing information systems and insisted that the best thinking didn\u2019t have to be linear, sequential or logical, but could also move sideways. The term lateral thinking became so popular that it soon entered the Oxford English Dictionary.<\/p>\n

Why not make up your own mind? We have his full range of titles which you\u2019ll find by logging into LibrarySearch<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Check out: Teach yourself to think<\/a>, Simplicity<\/a> or The happiness purpose<\/a> to begin opening your mind.<\/p>\n

To mark his birthday, I\u2019m going to dip into one or two of his books. I\u2019m new to this thinking lark, so I\u2019m going to start off with the basics:<\/p>\n
