About Edward de Bono - Edward de Bono is regarded by many to be the leading authority in the world in the field of creative thinking and the direct teaching of thinking as a skill. He has written over 80 books with translations into 41 languages and has been invited to lecture in 61 countries. He is the originator of lateral thinking which treats creativity as the behavior of information in a self-organising information system - such as the neural networks in the brain. From such a consideration arise the deliberate and formal tools of lateral thinking, parallel thinking etc. Dr. de Bono's latest book, "Think - before its too late" published by Random House will be available shortly.
