Six thinking hats by Edward De Bono

 Who is Edward De Bono?

Edward de Bono was born in Malta in 1933. He attended St Edward's College, Malta, during World War II and then the University of Malta where he qualified in medicine. He proceeded, as a Rhodes Scholar, to Christ Church, Oxford, where he gained an honours degree in psychology and physiology and then a D.Phil in medicine. He also holds a Ph.D from Cambridge and an MD from the University of Malta. He has held appointments at the universities of Oxford, London, Cambridge and Harvard. Edward de Bono  is regarded by many to be the leading authority in the world in the field of creative thinking and the direct teaching of thinking as a skill. He has written 62 books with translations into 37 languages and has been invited to lecture in 54 countries. He is the originator of lateral thinking which treats creativity as the behaviour of information in a self-organising information system - such as the neural networks in the brain. From such a consideration arise the deliberate and formal tools of lateral thinking, parallel thinking etc Why use parallel thinking? De Bono's alternative method of 'parallel thinking' should help you tackle tasks from six different perspectives. Hopefully, De Bono's strategies will help you shape your thinking not only in this subject but also in others as well as in decision making in your personal life.  Go to the document below and get acquainted with the rationale behind each hat.
