Informationen zum Autor Edward de Bono studied at Christ Church, Oxford (as a Rhodes Scholar). He also holds a PhD from Cambridge and an MD from the University of Malta. He has held appointments at the universities of Oxford, London, Cambridge and Harvard. In 1967 de Bono invented the now commonly used term 'lateral thinking' and, for many thousands, indeed millions, of people worldwide, his name has since become a symbol of creativity and new thinking. He has written numerous books, which have been translated into 34 languages, and his advice is sought by Nobel laureates and world leaders alike. www.debono.com Klappentext From the inventor of lateral thinking -- an exciting new way to develop your thinking skills, make yourself interesting, and so change your life. People spend a fortune on their appearance -- cosmetics, plastic surgery, diets -- everyone is trying to be more attractive. But there's an easier way to become a beautiful person. No matter how you look, if you have a mind that's fascinating, creative, exciting -- if you're a good thinker -- you can be beautiful. And it doesn't necessarily come from being highly educated, or even from having a great personality; it's about using your imagination and expanding your creativity. In clear, practical language, de Bono shows how, by applying lateral and parallel thinking skills to conversation, we can improve our mind. By learning how to listen, make a point, and manoeuvre a discussion, we can become creative and more appealing -- more beautiful. Zusammenfassung No matter how you look, if you have a mind that's fascinating, creative, exciting - if you're a good thinker - you can be beautiful. And being attractive doesn't necessarily come from being intelligent or highly-educated.
