Summary: No new thinking here
Comment: This book contains Edward de Bono's thought on our current system of thinking. He believes that our current system of thinking is excellent, but not enough. He believes we focus too much upon judgement, rather than exploring a subject. He believes we focus too much at looking back to the past rather than designing a way forward.
These are all points with which I wholeheartedly agree. So why did I give this book a low rating? I've only read a few of de Bono's other books, however I can already state that 75% of this book was a rehash of older works. The book is very repetitive, and on numerous occasions he offers the same examples over and over again, albeit in different sections of the book.
How about the 25% that I hadn't seen before? Well, although there is new material, he covers it in a cursory fashion. He offers some new notations, some suggestions for design although I can't see any way to apply these to my thinking. If you haven't read any of de Bono's other books, then go grab them now! If you have read de Bono's other books, then you have already read this one. In summary I can't really recommend this book to anyone.
Rating: 5
Summary: A new approach that integrates all other De Bono Methods
Comment: I am always surprised of how De Bono is suggesting new ways we can think in a more constructive way.
The book conbines critics of our default way of thinking and propose DESIGN THINKING as a way out. Excellent suggestion and I belief there is more to come in future to complete the development of the concepts placed in this book.
De Bono, thanks and go on! :-)

Summary: Old ideas for a new milennium
Comment: Come on, De Bono! if I hadn't managed to pick this for a couple of dollars in the discount bin I'd go for one star. De Bono says (in his book on wisdom) that the rules for mathematics don't change and so each of his books go over the same ground. But no one would explain the multiplication tables in every single one of their books, would they? If you nothing else from De Bono then maybe this is a good summary. Get 'Serious Creativity' instead though is my suggestion.
