Edward
de Bono

Edward de Bono was born in Malta. After
obtaining a degree in medicine at the Royal University of Malta, hr proceeded as a Rhodes
Scholar to Oxford, where he gained a degree in psychology and physiology, then a D. Phil
in medicine. He also holds a PhD from Cambridge and has had faculty appointments at the
universities of Oxford, Cambridge, London and Harvard.

Details not available.

The Five Day Course in Thinking.

de Bono laid a lot of the groundwork for modern creativity theory, inventing the
term lateral thinking. This early book is not a business creativity text, but can be
thought of as a course of exercises to get the brain working in a more creative fashion.
May be out of print, but usually plenty of second hand copies from Amazon's
marketplace.
Lateral Thinking.

The book that put Edward deBono into the Oxford English dictionary with his
term Lateral Thinking. It is a dry and, at times, difficult to follow book but offers an
insight into deBono's thinking and creativity. New 13 January
1999
Serious Creativity.

The de Bono book that pulls it all together, summarising a range of creativity
techniques and methods. A very dry, serious approach to creativity as the title suggests,
railing against the more extreme, Californian-style, let it all hang out creativity. A
useful round-up of techniques. NB includes 6 Hats, so don't buy both!
Mind Pack.

Quite different from the rest of de Bono's output, this pack and
its companion provide everything you need to exercise the brain, with a
series of games and puzzles and the accompanying objects to make it work.
Usable by most ages, the mind pack is a useful way to give the brain a
workout. Don't be put off by the glossy Dorling Kindersley presentation. New
11 April 2000
Super Mind Pack.

More mind packing, Super Mind Pack is a follow up to de Bono's
successful Mind Pack. Another complete circuit training course for your
imagination. New 11
April 2000
Six Thinking Hats.

This de Bono classic defines a very effective way of managing a meeting by
splitting the group interaction into six different styles and allowing the participants to
actively manage the process. If you are only going to buy one de Bono, buy this one.
The Six Value Medals.

Another of de Bono's
set of six - this time groupings of values - the attributes that can be used
as criteria in making decisions - providing a structure for making things
happen. A good idea, and clever use of the six materials to identify the
categories of values, though not the greatest book in the world.
Teach Yourself to
Think.

Thinking is the most fundamental skill. This book provides a clear, easy-to-follow
five-stage structure as a framework for thinking, which aims to broaden the ability to
respond to and cope with a vast range of situations. As usual with de Bono
it isn't a thrilling read, but gets the point across. New 13 January 1999
Teach Yourself to Think.

Water Logic/I am Right, You are Wrong.

An interesting dissertation on the difference between 'rock logic' and 'water
logic'. Rock logic is the traditional approach, defining what is. Water logic looks at
outcomes - not what something is, but what it leads to. The theory is actually more useful
than the 'practical' technique of flowscapes, but don't be put off - it is
quite readable theory, with some very real implications. Water Logic is hard
to come by, but check the shop references for I am
Right, You are Wrong, which covers much of the theoretical ground.
Out of print in UK, but new and used available from
Amazon Marketplace (under 'More Buying Choices') after clicking the shop
button. For Water
Logic: .New 20 June
