Thinking Course - Book Review
Author:Edward De Bono
Publisher: Facts On File
Pages: 208
Rating: 
Thinking Course: This is perhaps those rare books which I took to reading but never finished. Reasons? Can be simply one or many. At some point, I lost interest. May be because I started reading much more interesting (to me) books like “PresentationZen” & “Start It, Sell It”. Apparently, its more to do with the book itself.
I feel weird that Ed De Bono’s books never evoked much interest in me. Possibly, I am already accomplished Thinker. But no, I was hoping to find some practical examples/ tools to apply in real life.
The author has described many Thinking tools. But, I think ‘those’ tools would work very well in ideal life. I liked the underlying concept behind the book. As per Mr Bono, traditional education (Lo! Another one commenting on traditional education), has been lacking on teaching its students “Thinking Tools”. What we have been taught is information, but never tools that can help in Thinking/ Decision process. The book might have succeeded in its objective, but to me the ideas presented were abstract.
Please note these are my views, not necessarily applies to a good author like Mr Bono. May be I will progress enough in future to reread the book. You can check Amazon page for reviews- some agree with me, while others don’t.
