What color is your thinking hat? In this revolutionary work, Dr. de Bono explains the 6 different hats and how they affect the way we perceive things. He shows how people and organizations can become more effective by using a simple language as a control system for thinking. Learn about the White Hat (facts, figures, and information), the Red Hat (emotions, hunches, and intuition), the Black Hat (negative judgment), the Yellow Hat (brightness and optimism), the Green Hat (fertility and creativity), and the Blue Hat (cool and control).

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 10
Our increasingly complicated lifestyle demands clear and constructive thinking: making decisions, making choices, taking initiatives, and being creative. Watching television for 20 to 30 hours a week, as many children do, results in a passive mind that can only copy what others are doing (including drugs, sex, and violence). Give your children a better chance in life. Thinking is a skill...even a superior brain is wasted without it. You can start to teach your children to think - now.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 5,229
In Super Bowl XLIX, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made one of the most controversial calls in football history: With 26 seconds remaining, and trailing by four at the Patriots' one-yard line, he called for a pass instead of a handing off to his star running back. The pass was intercepted, and the Seahawks lost. Critics called it the dumbest play in history. But was the call really that bad? Or did Carroll actually make a great move that was ruined by bad luck? Even the best decision doesn't yield the best outcome every time.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 443
In Joel's Schwartzberg's 10-plus years as a strategic communications trainer, the biggest obstacle he's come across - one that connects directly to nervousness, stammering, rambling, and epic fail - is that most speakers and writers don't have a point. They typically have just a title, a theme, a topic, an idea, an assertion, a catchphrase, or even something much less. This book shows you how to identify your point, leverage it, stick to it, and sell it and how to train others to identify and successfully make their own points.

I guess I shouldn't have expected much in 1 hour.
As the book is only one hour long, I expect (hope) that there is more to DeBono's teachings on creativity than the scant intro provided in this audiobook. I certainly can't say that I have any deeper understanding of creativity and thinking after listening to this. It's too brief to be much more than an ad for his seminars. The book does introduce you to DeBono's Body Framework, in which different thought processes or steps are described in analogy to different body parts and systems (bones = structure of the situation; muscles = goals and effort; nerves = networks of connections; fat = irrelevant ideas; skin = presentation to others; health = utility of the solution). The analogies to body parts seems rather stretched, not always making the idea or concept any clearer. Overall, if you don't expect to get much out of this short book (other than to get a vague idea of De Bono's theses), you won't be disappointed. BTW, De Bono is NOT the narrator.

Great and (almost) effortless thinking process
I hope my old school taught me a lesson on how to think systematically... Now de Bono filled this gap! I use this approach whenever I need to write my university papers, as well as to compile a long term plan for my volunteer work. It takes no effort at all to remember this thinking process--all it takes is a look at my own body and I'll know which of the six steps I am working on.
I recommend his "Six Thinking Hat" approach as well. The two skills complement each other very well.

Should have read the small print
De Bono is brilliant - but carefully read the description to check if this is what you are looking for. It is not read by the author and is certainly not one of his inspirational lectures - rather a workshop presented by third parties.
