Format:Paperback
There's no doubt that you can train your brain to peform better. Paul Sloane,one of the world's leading exponents of lateral and creative thinking in business, sets out a series of simple techniques that anyone can follow to help them improve their powers of thought. Not only did I really enjoy this book, I found the ideas that Sloane puts forward very easy to follow and apply. And they really do work. I also disovered I have a much better head for mathematics than I thought I had.
A incredibly interesting and helpful book. Couldn't recommend it highly enough.

Paul Sloane's book is a very readable and easily digestible resource that can be read in convenient bite-size chunks. The chapters are numerous, short and to the point with excellent summaries and self-diagnostic tests. Even though much of the academic research Paul uses was not new to me it was presented in a fresh and interesting way that makes the book very useful to people who want to question their existing practices and sharpen-up the way they think and plan to do things,
This is a very handy mental guide for people in any walk of life and everybody would benefit from the advice given. The reader is left in no doubt that thinking is a skill that we all engage in but frequently do quite badly because we have simply not been taught how to do it well. Most importantly the author leaves you in no doubt that this is something you can do something about.
Whether you just need a refresher in better thinking or a starter course this book is very useful. I thoroughly recommend it

Format:Paperback
A highly entertaining and thought-provoking book that uses masses of unexpected examples to highlight ways in which we can all use our little grey cells more effectively. It doesn't just cover academic thinking, but also ways to maximise your brainpower in social and professional life. Sloane touches on lateral thinking, logic, philosophy, creative problem-solving and many other areas in a witty and highly readable fashion, with lots of brain-teasers and other puzzles along the way. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would strongly recommend it as a gift for a friend or family member who needs a bit of encouragement to think more precisely or imaginatively.
