Letters to Thinkers: Further Thoughts on Lateral Thinking

The need to create time for thinking has been one of Edward de Bono’s themes for two decades.

Thinking is a learnable skill and we should all be able to benefit from its practice and application. In this series of privately subscribed letters – available to the general reader for the first time – the pioneer of lateral thinking offers thoughts on topics as profound as creativity and negativity and as diverse as the miners’ strike, the limits of the imagination, the future of banks, democracy and unemployment. Here is Edward de Bono at his most intensely personal, innovative and challenging. His book is a forward-looking and compulsively accessible exploration of the practical aspects of thinking.
