De Bono's Supermind Pack : Expand Your Thinking Powers With Strategic Games & Mental Exercises

Like muscles, the mind can be flexed, stretched, exercised, and strengthened. Edward de Bono, originator of the concept "lateral thinking" and author of numerous books on creative thought, here offers an intriguing packet designed to expand your thinking through 30 games specifically designed to focus on certain mental aspects.

In today's world, it is not enough just to have intelligence; you have to know how to use it. "Intelligence is like the horsepower of a car," de Bono argues. "Thinking skills are like the driving skills with which a car is driven." De Bono's Super Mind Pack is designed to improve those skills to help you get the most from your native intelligence. The pack consists of 14 games that can be played in a number of ways. De Bono's included book, Thinking for Action, lays out the basis of his philosophy of thinking, explains how to play the games and what you will get out of them, and offers a number of exercises that will stimulate your imagination and help you explore new avenues of thought. Think of it as an aerobics class for your mind.
