Think! Before It's Too Late
I have read a few books by Edward de Bono, I think the captioned is the best which I just finished reading, it recaps all (?) we need to know about thinking skills advocated by Mr de Bono, and the tools are summarised. I was inspired by it for the topic of my thesis for my Doctor in Education, tentatively it is: 'Teaching Thinking Skills to Adult Learners'.
I have recommended the book to 12 persons tonight.

have you read Ted's first book "The Mechanism of Mind"(1969)? This is the volume to really persevere with and understand as deeply as you can. Out of print now, but you might just score a second-hand copy somewhere as I recently did...
This book forms the spinal column to the whole of de Bono Thinking. It outlines a model of the mind that has been investigated by a Nobel Prize-winning scientist and found to work precisely as the author imagined. I have uploaded some relevant video clips to this site that may interest you. Maybe watch "Parallel Thinking 1-7" for some extra inspiration.

Kim, thanks for the tips, would try to find the book, I do not remember I have ever seen the book. Where are the video clips you mentioned?

Kim, further to my previous message, I have viewed the Parellel thinking 1, it is fun, and useful. By the way, I recommended the book "Think! Before It is Too Late" to two ladies today, one of them decided to buy one for her sons (20+ of age).
