When I was a little boy my father talked to me about lateral thinking。 He was reading a book by Edward De Bono。In one way or another， I have been heard from him at school， at home， and even at work。 That's when I decided to buy this book。If you want to get familiar with the six thinking hats method and have a summary of Edward De Bono's methods， then this book is for you。 If you， however， want to start familiarizing yourself with his methods， there are probably better options out there， since th When I was a little boy my father talked to me about lateral thinking。 He was reading a book by Edward De Bono。In one way or another， I have been heard from him at school， at home， and even at work。 That's when I decided to buy this book。If you want to get familiar with the six thinking hats method and have a summary of Edward De Bono's methods， then this book is for you。 If you， however， want to start familiarizing yourself with his methods， there are probably better options out there， since this is more of a reference book。As a side note， I read the Spanish version published by Paidos， and it is poorly translated。 If you want to read it， look out for an English version。 。。。more

The book opens with wonderful facts and myths about thinking skills。 It's not only for children but anyone can get benefited from it。 No matter what age group you are coming from。 The techniques and new vocabulary just create new neural pathways which help you broaden your perspective about possibilities。 These possibilities are keys to stretch your thinking skills and make them useable for experimenting new ways of learning。 Most importantly exercises at the end of every chapter just give you e The book opens with wonderful facts and myths about thinking skills。 It's not only for children but anyone can get benefited from it。 No matter what age group you are coming from。 The techniques and new vocabulary just create new neural pathways which help you broaden your perspective about possibilities。 These possibilities are keys to stretch your thinking skills and make them useable for experimenting new ways of learning。 Most importantly exercises at the end of every chapter just give you exercising and building new patterns of thinking。 。。。more

My dad bought me this book back when I was still in school but as a teenager， the title wasn’t so attractive to me。 But I was wrong！ This book is a life-changing read！ It presents different approaches to thinking that we may already know but fail to distinguish in daily life。 We may have gone through the practical of the techniques of thinking without realising。 This book emphasises on the importance of thinking slowly， considering all factors and alternatives - even the impact on other people， My dad bought me this book back when I was still in school but as a teenager， the title wasn’t so attractive to me。 But I was wrong！ This book is a life-changing read！ It presents different approaches to thinking that we may already know but fail to distinguish in daily life。 We may have gone through the practical of the techniques of thinking without realising。 This book emphasises on the importance of thinking slowly， considering all factors and alternatives - even the impact on other people， looking at a wider perspective before coming to a decision。 Dr De Bono also introduced so many tools to stimulate thinking and idea generating that are easy to be understood and applied in real life。 A recommended read for everyone of all ages and backgrounds！ 。。。more

BrainStorming ！！！！！YET， complicated writing， u can get pissed off from the beginning and not complete it。。My advice？ Give yourself time and don’t bother yourself finishing it， just read and think。。

Listened to audiobook。This book is offensively bad。 The author takes general well-known principles of thinking （brainstorming， cost-benefit analysis， etc。）， gives them an acronym and repackages it as his own idea， presumably to sell this book and his others。 Also， don't call kids youngsters。 It makes you sound ridiculous。 Listened to audiobook。This book is offensively bad。 The author takes general well-known principles of thinking （brainstorming， cost-benefit analysis， etc。）， gives them an acronym and repackages it as his own idea， presumably to sell this book and his others。 Also， don't call kids youngsters。 It makes you sound ridiculous。 。。。more

I first came across this book when I was homeschooling my son 30 years ago。 Now I'm homeschooling my grandchildren and it's time to get some thinking hats going。 De Bono is still timely。 I first came across this book when I was homeschooling my son 30 years ago。 Now I'm homeschooling my grandchildren and it's time to get some thinking hats going。 De Bono is still timely。 。。。more

It is not about teaching your child how to think， it is about ourselves learning how to think correctly at first and then teach to our children。 This is a book for everyone， even without any child， by this title， the author wants to say "we should learn how to think so our next generation will know it"。 It is not about teaching your child how to think， it is about ourselves learning how to think correctly at first and then teach to our children。 This is a book for everyone， even without any child， by this title， the author wants to say "we should learn how to think so our next generation will know it"。 。。。more

Scattered and vague。 Not very well organised to follow and consolidate patterns

Jef ，

While I can see why this one has a lower rating that it should， due to being quite tactical in parts， in general this book adds great value。。It promotes and encourages creativity to solve problems， which is useful and helpful not only for kids but anyone interested in becoming a better problem solver。Enjoyed the short and sharp paragraphs as well 😎

Selina Tran ，

Một cuốn sách bổ ích để rèn luyện tư duy。Tác giả đưa ra rất nhiều phương pháp cũng như bài tập đa dạng để áp dụng。Tuy nhiên， tác giả dùng hơi nhiều từ "chuyên môn" mà mình nghĩ nếu áp dụng thực tế thì chúng ta nên "bình dân" nó để mọi người dễ hiểu hơn。Điều cuối cùng， cuốn sách không chỉ phù hợp với con trẻ mà phù hợp với tất cả mọi đối tượng。 Mình ước đã đọc nó sớm hơn :））） Một cuốn sách bổ ích để rèn luyện tư duy。Tác giả đưa ra rất nhiều phương pháp cũng như bài tập đa dạng để áp dụng。Tuy nhiên， tác giả dùng hơi nhiều từ "chuyên môn" mà mình nghĩ nếu áp dụng thực tế thì chúng ta nên "bình dân" nó để mọi người dễ hiểu hơn。Điều cuối cùng， cuốn sách không chỉ phù hợp với con trẻ mà phù hợp với tất cả mọi đối tượng。 Mình ước đã đọc nó sớm hơn :））） 。。。more

I like the 6 hats thinking it’s time for craft work to create the hats。 Have to research more into lateral thinking and extract the thinking games to play with my son。

A pretty dry take on the importance of teaching one's children to think， including some detailed methodologies and strategies， though their efficacy is not immediately clear to the reader。 A pretty dry take on the importance of teaching one's children to think， including some detailed methodologies and strategies， though their efficacy is not immediately clear to the reader。 。。。more

Πριν 10 χρονια που ανακαλυπτα τον DEBONO καταβροχθισα αυτο το βιβλιαρακι που πηρα με παραγγελια μεσω ελευθερουδακη και θεωρησα οτι ανακαλυψα την Αμερική 。Διάβαζα προκειμένου να κανω μαθηματα σκεψης （brain gym τα ελεγα ）στα παιδια μου των τελευταιων ταξεων του Δημοτικού τότε。Τελικά έχω σοβαρές αμφιβολίες αν τα βοήθησα στη σκέψη τους και εκείνα σήμερα θυμούνται εκείνες τις απόπειρες μάλλον με αρνητικό πρόσημο。Δε μετανιώνω ，ήταν μία καινοτομία 。

Anggiavidi ，

I need this book and I think this book can help answer my problem about thinking。。

Ryan Barretto ，

An excellent read。 Mr。 De Bono's language is simple， and it encourages you to think at every stage。 There are some interesting exercises at the end of the book， where he shows you how to blend his thinking methods and tools to generate better results。This is a must read for everyone， if you want to progress in life beyond what you are told。 An excellent read。 Mr。 De Bono's language is simple， and it encourages you to think at every stage。 There are some interesting exercises at the end of the book， where he shows you how to blend his thinking methods and tools to generate better results。This is a must read for everyone， if you want to progress in life beyond what you are told。 。。。more

Превода е ужасен :）

Karen ⊰✿ ，

Even though I had this on audio， I found it very hard going。 It is basically de Bono preaching his Six Thinking Hats concepts and the myriad of acronyms that go along with it。 I guess there is value in school kids doing some of the exercises to understand people think differently， but there really was nothing new or interesting in this。

Elizabeth ，

Not the best read （repetitive and a little condescending）， but there was some interesting information。 I'd like to revisit this when my children are older and use the questions and exercises。 Not the best read （repetitive and a little condescending）， but there was some interesting information。 I'd like to revisit this when my children are older and use the questions and exercises。 。。。more

It is a bit hard to understand but I think it's still interesting。 I hope to read it again and try some of the thinking ways。 It is a bit hard to understand but I think it's still interesting。 I hope to read it again and try some of the thinking ways。 。。。more

Revolusi Berpikir。 Buku ini saya baca saay kelas 3 SMA。 Karena bagi saya masih terlalu berat bahasanya （maklum waktu itu belum suka baca buku）， akhirnya saat lulus saya hadiahkan untuk Guru saya。 Saya pikir dengan begitu bisa lebih bermanfaat。。 hehe

Pauline ，

It's more of a text book。。。。so a little boring listened to the audiobook but I think it would have been better if I read it。 Apart from that in all what he's talking about I can sum up by saying this I believe open-ended questions make people think more deeply so it's always good to ask kids questions that don't have one right answers。 It's more of a text book。。。。so a little boring listened to the audiobook but I think it would have been better if I read it。 Apart from that in all what he's talking about I can sum up by saying this I believe open-ended questions make people think more deeply so it's always good to ask kids questions that don't have one right answers。 。。。more

This book largely rehashes some of De Bono's earlier stuff， albeit in a condensed manner。 It's useful to have it in one volume rather than spread out through the many books that he has written。 Fundamentally he's right -- thinking is a skill that can be mastered and improved like any other skill。 Some of the techniques he outlines are undoubtedly useful， but this is not， in my opinion his best book and he does get a bit preachy。 Nevertheless， it does contain enough to be worthwhile。 This book largely rehashes some of De Bono's earlier stuff， albeit in a condensed manner。 It's useful to have it in one volume rather than spread out through the many books that he has written。 Fundamentally he's right -- thinking is a skill that can be mastered and improved like any other skill。 Some of the techniques he outlines are undoubtedly useful， but this is not， in my opinion his best book and he does get a bit preachy。 Nevertheless， it does contain enough to be worthwhile。 。。。more

Do Bono does a great job of bringing structure and approach to creativity。 He presents several skills with ways to practice them with children to come up with very creative out-of-the-box ideas。I tried several of the techniques demonstrated in the book with my children and noticed real novice ideas coming specially from the younger ones。 Highly recommended for educators， teachers， and parents alike。

القراءة لدي بونو ليست ممتعة 。وتظهر على شكل قفزات وان كانت مترابطة。 لا شك أن دي بونو يعرض في كتبه تأملات عميقة في عملية （التفكر） ويقترح أساليب جيدة ومفيدة وعملية جداً للارتقاء بالتفكير。 إلا أنني أرى في كتبه إسهابا وإطالة يمكن الاستغناء عنها 。 كما أجد عنده محاولة متكلفة لاقرار نماذج ومصطلحات يمكن اختصارها، و تبسيط عرضها 。 أيضا يمكن تلخيص كتبه على تنوع عناوينها من خلال فكرتي التفكير الجانبي （وهي فكرة ذكية جداً ورائعة） و فكرة القبعات الست （وهي فكرة عملية صيغت بقالب جميل）

Danila Maltsev ，

Тяжело пробираться через аббревиатуры и требует параллельной работы со своим мышлением。 Но вещи описанные очень полезны и важны для осознанного жития。
