De Bono's Thinking Course Is the way you think like the colour of your eyes something you are born with and cannot alter? Or is thinking a skill that can be improved with practice like swimming tennis or cooking? In this newly revised and provocative book Edward de Bono further develops and demonstrates how the techniques of thinking can be enhanced and improved through attention practice and the use of simple tools such as the amazingly effective random-word technique for creativity.
