Advantages: Good, straightfoward advice Disadvantages: Do not be put off by tag 'philosophy'
My first forray into philosophy and I didn't even realise! I picked up a copy of this book at my local library, as I was looking for something along the lines of 'how to improve your prospects at work', etc (ie management techniques). I was already familiar with de Bono's name, as he became well knonw in the media in the 1990's, but I did not take the oppporutnity to read his works then.
This book dates back to that era, and their is a companion ... ...I think the essence of his ideas are encapsulated in this volumne.
He has quite a straightforward, simplistic style of writing, so that it is very accessible. Do not be put off by the thought of philosophy - he writes in a way that any one can understand him and manages to convey complex ideas in a simple manner. He became hugely influential in teh 1990's and his books have become best sellers.
