Product Description

Review
"Dr. de Bono does not claim to be able to turn us all into Miltons, Da Vincis, and Einsteins . . . . but his techniques provide an alternative to just sitting around waiting for the Muse to appear. The Muse never appears to most of us--hence the value of this book.""--Times Educational Supplement"

5.0 out of 5 stars Take a New Direction in Your Thinking, 24 May 2002
By A Customer
Important work demonstrating the limits of logic and showing readers how to move in new, more
creative directions reason alone cannot reach. More than thinking outside the box, lateral thinking let's us escape the box and leave it behind. You should also consider reading the newer Why Didn't I Think of That? - Think the Unthinkable and Achieve Creative Greatness.

3.0 out of 5 stars A good workout for the brain!, 26 Mar 1998
By A Customer

This book is good for reading if you want to use your brain. It is not very good if you are not working with other people, because you generally need a narrator or you'd have to look in the back which would be cheating. The Wally tests are very tricky but fun to do. The puzzles escalate from the beginning to as easy to challenging at the end. These puzzles are very well composed, and I'd reccomend them for those out there that really like to think hard. If you don't like thinking hard this is not the best choice in books, but if you do it's excellent. There are other lateral thinking puzzles too, if you enjoyed this one (that is assuming you've read it). The reason I gave it a six is because it isn't really a book, like a novel, but filled with little mysteries. The last puzzle is always the very hardest.
