Edward De Bono's common sense approach is both refreshing and insightful. The Six Thinking Hats helps people use both their left and right brains efficiently by separating them into compartments (Thinking Hats). In other words, De Bono teaches how to achieve a strong Left Brain, Right Brain Crossover. Each of the hats uses part of the left, or the right brain. * The White ... Read More
