DR. EDWARD DE BONO is
regarded by many as the guru for the direct teaching of
thinking skills .He has written over 62 books with
translations into 37 languages. He has worked
steadily with major corporations and governments in over
50 countries during the past 30 years, thus building up
a vast amount of practical experience in the direct teaching
of thinking methods. He has taught thinking skills to
corporate executives, four year olds, and Nobel Prize
laureates alike. |

Dr. de Bono’s background is in
medicine and psychology. He was a
Rhodes Scholar and has held faculty
appointments at the universities
Oxford, Cambridge, London, and
Harvard. His medical background in
biological information systems
inspired and enabled him not only to
teach thinking but also to design
thinking methods. His description of
the how the nerve networks in the
brain behave as a self organizing
system has led him to design the
CoRT thinking Program which is
the most widely used program
internationally for the direct
teaching of thinking as a curriculum
subject.
He coined the phrase “Lateral
Thinking” which has been taken
up by the Oxford English
Dictionary.
