Six Thinking Hats

Edward de Bono invented the concept of lateral thinking. A world-renowned writer and philosopher, he was the leading authority in the field of creative thinking and the direct teaching of thinking as a skill.

Over the course of his life, Dr de Bono wrote more than 60 books, in 40 languages, and his methods are now taught worldwide. He chaired a special summit of Nobel Prize laureates, and was hailed as one of the 250 people who contributed most to mankind. Upon his death in June 2021 he was celebrated in numerous obituaries and tributes in the international press.

Dr de Bono's titles include classic bestsellers such as Six Thinking Hats, Lateral Thinking, I Am Right You Are Wrong, Teach Yourself How To Think, Teach Your Child How To Think, and Simplicity - all now re-issued by Penguin.
