And, you can start developing well-honed mental skills with more than 80 braintwisting puzzles that test your creativity and smarts. At first it might not seem as if there's enough information to solve them, but if you just persist, you'll come up with the logical answers. Some of the conundrums come from real life: try to figure out how the Greek playwright Aeschylus could have been killed by a tortoise or how the truth about Mary Queen of Scots' baldness was finally revealed. Or, give this a shot: A runner was awarded a prize for winning a marathon. But, the judges disqualified him when they saw a picture of his wristwatch. Why? Happy puzzling! Answer: A picture of the runner early in the race showed him wearing his watch on his right wrist. When he crossed the finishing line it was on his left wrist.

| edward de bono lateral thinking puzzles: How to Have Creative Ideas Edward de Bono, 2012-05-31 Everybody wants to be creative. Creativity makes life more fun, more interesting and more full of achievement, but too many people believe that creativity is something you are born with and cannot be learned. In How to Have Creative Ideas Edward de Bono - the leading authority on creative thinking - outlines 62 different games and exercises, built around random words chosen from a list, to help encourage creativity and lateral thinking. For example, if the task were to provide an idea for a new restaurant and the random word chosen was 'cloak', ideas generated might be: a highwayman theme; a Venetian theme with gondolas; masked waiters and waitresses. Or, if asked to make a connection between the two random words 'desk' and 'shorts', readers may come up with: both are functional; desks have 'knee holes' and shorts expose the knees; traditionally they were both male-associated items. All the exercises are simple, practical and fun, and can be done by anyone. |

Adored by advertising agencies, misunderstood by the media, and mistrusted by academia, De Bono became a household name dominating the field of creative thinking for half a century. With contributions from de Bono’s former wife, Josephine de Bono, Sir Tony Blair, HRH Prince Philip and many others who knew de Bono – plus rare photographs from his family. Reviews “The book is filled with the voices of people who knew, loved, admired and worked with him... It’s de Bono viewed from the side, as remembered by those who were fond of him. It’s to Tucker’s credit that now such a private man comes into view so much more clearly... It leaves us free to engage with de Bono’s legacy, head on.” _ Ranier Fsadni, Times of Malta Edward de Bono sideways (timesofmalta.com) Book Review by Michael Hewitt-Gleeson – School of Thinking “Love Laterally is a 2024 book about Edward de Bono by Sarah Tucker. The book truly lives up to its snappy name. There is lots of love. There is lots of lateral thinking. I enjoyed it immensely and also learned a lot about a man that I knew very well for fifty years.

There are many fascinating stories and insights in this easy to read and lovely book...” – Michael Hewitt-Gleeson, schoolofthinking.org “Riveting read of a man who led his life in the fast lane and created a way for others to do the same.” – Dave Trott, advertising guru “An amazing and perceptive biography.” – Anne Sebba, author of That Woman: The Life of Wallis 'I loved this book so much. I initially never heard the name, Edward de Bono but after learning that he is behind what it’s means to be a creative thinker and think outside the box I was fascinated. After reading this book I learned a lot more about Edward de Bono and understood how he thought the way he did. When I read the book there were events in his life that I couldn’t believe were real but I loved all the juicy stories that made him the man he was. It’s a shame that there is a generation of people who don’t know who he is and what he brought to the world.' ***** -Amazon reviewer About the authors Sarah Tucker is the best-selling author of seven novels, seven children’s books and seven books on wellbeing and mental health for adults, young adults and children.

Cosmetics, plastic surgery, diets, gym membership - everyone's trying to be more attractive. But there's an easier way to become a beautiful person. It doesn't have to be physical. No matter how you look, if you have a mind that's fascinating, creative, exciting - if you're a good thinker - you can be beautiful.

And it's when talking with people that we make the greatest impact. A person may be physically beautiful, but when speaking to others a dull or ugly or uncreative mind will definitely turn them off. In clear, practical language, de Bono shows how applying lateral and parallel thinking skills to your conversations can improve your mind. By learning how to listen, make a point, and manoeuvre a discussion, you can become creative and irresistible. |
