Dear Kim,

thank you for re-introduce me to DeBono. I heard about him in the late 90s at a list called "Creativity" (what I disliked, because it positied that Cr. can be developed and learned - without a proper definition of what they are talking about indeed. (My position was a dualism: original new ideas and the 'imnprovement-creativity', valuing the 2nd more. Original new ideas have to come from somewhere, if you find out something like that it must have come from YOUR existing experience and mindset.

DeBono was much appreciated on that list and I am always suspicious about crowd-enthusiasm. I neglected a deeper search THEN.

I will look into the DeBobo oeuvre again, because I value YOUR recommendation. Thanks.

With friendship

John Mikes

What's important? Thinking is perhaps the most important thing humans do. By and large they are pretty slip-shod at it. The problems of Global Warming and the Global Financial Crisis pale into insignificance compared to the problem of the disastrous quality of much of human thinking.

For those interested in creative thinking in particular and thinking skills generally. I have helped to set up and launch this new venture by Edward de Bono which, like the Everything List, is intended to be a bit of a swimming pool for high-quality thinkers.

Everyone welcome. If you are unacquainted with Edward's oeuvre, this is the quickest way to get an education! In 1995, Edward had an asteroid named after him. He is on a list of 200 thinkers who have contributed the most to human civilisation throughout history.
