Western thinking is failing because it was not designed to deal with
change
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 today's rapidly changing world we need to free our
minds of these 'boxes' and embrace a more flexible and nimble model.
Parallel Thinking is an invaluable insight into the word of
creativity; 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.
