Parallel Thinking

En savoir plus sur le livre

<b>‘Western thinking is failing because it was not designed to deal with change’ </b> For thousands of years we have followed the thinking system designed by the Greek philosophers Socrates, Plato and Aristotle, based on analysis, judgement and argument. In <i>Parallel Thinking </i>de Bono’s thesis is that these ‘boxes’ are no longer adequate to cope with today’s rapidly changing world. We need to switch from judgement to design, and use design to power us forward from parallel possibilities: · Accept possibilities without judging and lay them down in parallel · Accept both sides of a contradiction and lay them down in parallel · Design <u>forward</u> from these parallel possibilities <i></i> <i></i> <i>Parallel Thinking</i> is an invaluable insight into the world of creativity; de Bono unveils methods of brainstorming and explains preconceived ideas of what creativity involves and <i>is</i>. This book is not about philosophy; it is about the practical (and parallel) thinking required to get things done.
