... Edward de Bono demonstrates how the techniques of thinking can be enhanced and improved through attention, practice and the use of simple tools, such as latering thinking, CAF (Consider All Factors) and AGO (Aims, Goals and Objectives). He shows that the operating skill of thinking is, in fact, quite different from intelligence and reveals how many intelligent people are actually bad thinkers because they are caught in the "intelligence trap". Each part of this fully revised and updated fourth edition covers an important aspect of thinking, such as Perception, Making Decisions, dealing with Emotions and values, Negotiation, Focus and The future. The book is illustrated throughout with de Bono's own diagrams. - Back cover.
