A review by harrydargavel
Six Thinking Hats by Edward de Bono

4.0

Seems like a well thought out system for decision making and thinking, I almost feel like I know it works already due to the authors cockiness and assurance that soon the entire world will be using his idioms in day to day life. The 6 thinking hats says system seems extremely beneficial and I plan to try it out in my work however, I believe I only needed to read the summary of each hat to understand it. As a read this is tedious and dull at times but as a system I think it will prove to be fantastic hence the 4 stars.

I’m most intrigued by what de bono talks about under the green hat and plan to read his books on lateral thinking to get further insight into this.

I’d advise reading the 6 one page summaries of each hat first then deciding if it’s worth reading the other 170 pages.
