THE classic work about improving creativity from world-renowned writer & philosopher Edward de Bono In schools we are taught to meet problems head-on what Edward de Bono calls 'vertical thinking' This works well in simple situations
- but we are at a loss when this approach fails What then? Lateral thinking is all about freeing up your imagination Through a series of special techniques in groups or working alone Edward de Bono shows how to stimulate the mind in new & exciting ways Soon you will be looking at problems from a variety of angles & offering up solutions that are as ingenious as they are effective You will become much more productive & a formidable thinker in your own right' If more bankers & traders had read Lateral Thinking & applied the ideas of Edward de Bono to their own narrow definitions of risk reward & human expectations I suspect we would be in much better shape than we are'
