Kurzbeschreibung
From the inventor of lateral thinking, this is an exciting new way to develop thinking skills and enhance your appeal. An accessible guide which marks a major relaunch of de Bono including press coverage and conferences.
Synopsis
People spend a fortune on their bodies, their faces, their hair, their clothes. Cosmeticism plastic surgery, diets, gym membership - everyone's trying to be more attractive. But there's an easier way to become a beautiful person. It doesn't have to be physical. 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. It isn't about having a great personality. It's about using your imagination and expanding your creativity. And it's when talking with people we make our biggest impact. A person may be physically beautiful, but when speaking to others a dull or ugly or uncreative mind will definitely turn them off. In clear, practical language, de Bono shows how by applying lateral and parallel thinking skills to your conversation you can improve your mind. By learning eg, how to listen, make a point, and manoeuvre a discussion, you can become creative and more appealing - more beautiful.

De Bono defines the beautiful mind as one that can be appreciated by others and claims that the beauty of the mind increases with the wisdom and experience of age. In this book he leads the reader through a series of chapters on conversational techniques, providing a summary of the main points at the end of each chapter. Anyone can apply these, as the beauty of the mind is not dependent on a high IQ, voluminous knowledge of natural charm. Any discussion ought to be a genuine attempt to explore a subject rather than a battle of egos. The chapters include How To Agree, Disagree Differ, Be Interesting, Respond, Listen, How To Phrase Questions, plus Concepts, Alternatives, Emotions and Feelings, Values, Diversions, Opinion, Interruption and Attitude. Many techniques for creativity, imagination and empathy are provided. The book is really about simple conversational tactics based on common sense, good manners and is full of illuminating observations on various conversational situations.

Fairly interesting
11. Dezember 2005
Format:Taschenbuch
The book is about building a beautiful mind to enhance ones' appeal (regardless of IQ, knowledge, or looks).
First 7 chapters deals pretty much with holding a decent conversation. Much of this sounds like common sense, but sometimes 'not so common' to some people. When holding a conversation, agreeing to everything is no good, as the other party might as well be talking to himself. Disagreeing everything is bad as it shows a mind that wants to demonstrate superiority to others (thus is ugly). There are many levels in between total agreement and disagreement. You can agree on certain points and disagree on certain points (agree to disagree). The key is to find out what you agree and disagree based on mutual understand of each others' values, point of view, personal experience, and extrapolation of what happens in the future. Once you understand the other party's 'logic bubble', you would be able to hold a better conversation without misunderstandings and negative emotions. To make the conversation interesting, you should also supplement , speculate, provide what-ifs, be open to alternatives, and explore points of interest. Edward explores the way you can do all these.
Chapter 8 addressed the concept of "6 Thinking Hats" or Parallel thinking (Edward has a whole book on this btw). In a Court of Law, a prosecutor will not mention points which will help a defence case, and vice versa for the defence attorney. Our usual thinking is based on using arguments as a method, as put forward by the Greeks: Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. In an argument, each party is usually looking from his own side. Edward gives an alternative method called Parallel thinking where everyone explores the same side, and goes around to all sides until a complete view is understood. This is covered in more details in another book.
The book is easy to understand and digest, and filled with interesting examples of cases where we should look at both sides to understand the whole picture. I also liked the way that some concepts are indexed (see also page so-and-so) which makes it easy to refer. The book has been an interesting read for me.

A waste of money
16. Dezember 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
There is nothing new from de Bono in this book.
I have great respect for Edward de Bono's work and his 6 Thinking Hats concept and I use his ideas frequently in my work but this book does him no credit.
It is difficult to believe that he personally wrote it. It looks like his 'creative' team have pulled this together out of his previous work and wrapped it in a pretty cover. This is just a cheap marketing trap.
I'll be more wary of anything with the Edward de Bono brand in the future.

Good Read

This is another good piece from DeBono. The popular concept of "six thinking hats" is addressed - just enough to understand and apply. Clearly, the first 2/3 of the book is excellent with simple examples to relate to most we do.
The last 1/3 is a bit of a drag. May be would not have made any difference if the book were thinner ;-)
Over all a good read, May be borrowing will work well than buying.
