Don’t chase the market leader, be the market leader. Edward de Bono, the bestselling author of Serious Creativity and inventor of lateral thinking teaches you how to move beyond the baseline of competition and find success with sur/petition. It's simple. If you want to survive in the global marketplace a competitive streak is essential. But what if you want to do more than just survive? In Sur/petition de Bono explains how choosing to run in your own race instead of alongside others will give you the edge over other businesses and creating value monopolies will allow your business to not only survive but become successful. Broken down into 3 sections Sur/petition will explain: 1. Why most fundamental habits of management thinking maybe inadequate and even dangerous for your business 2. The difference between traditional competition and sur/petition 3. The meaning of ‘valufacture’ and how to create value for your business Drawing from his immense experience consulting the top corporations in the world, de Bono shows you how to go 'beyond competition' and create a new winning game.

Providing techniques on creative thinking, the author has also written 20 other books including "Practical Thinking" and "I am Right, You are Wrong".

First published in 1981, this was the first book ever to be written explicitly for the right side of the reader’s brain. Much has been made of the research conducted into the left side of the brain – home to language and logic. The right side works in images, whole patterns and undefined feelings – none of which can be verbalized. This more elusive thinking often functions as what is loosely called ‘intuition’. In Atlas, de Bono shows us how to use the right side. It is an atlas because it is a visual reference of images and illustrations that point the reader in the right direction (literally). For anyone who has ever been told to trust their instinct, or who is concerned with management and decision-making, this book is a de Bono classic.

Letters to Further Thoughts on Lateral Thinking

Creativity is becoming increasingly important for all businesses as competition intensifies because to act creatively is the best and cheapest way to get added value out of existing resources and assets. In this book, the author brings up-to-date the core concept of his book Lateral Thinking.

This book offers a series of problems in thinking that require no special knowledge and no mathematics. The problems are designed to let readers find out about their personal style of thinking, its weaknesses and strengths, and the potential methods that they never use. Being right is not always important - an error can lead to the right decision. A copy of the L-game is inserted in each book for use in the section on strategy.

The author shows how he sees creativity and lateral thinking working together in the process of management to develop new products and new ideas; and to generate new approaches to problem-solving, organisation and future alternatives in planning

Creative genius and bestselling author Edward de Bono reveals the startling future face of business: the creation of value monopolies that change the very nature of company and customer.

From back: " ... demonstrates how to think more effectively through attention, practice and a series of exercises."

Alternate-cover for this ISBN can be found here This is Edward de Bono's original portrayal of a mental process which he in no way claims to have invented, In it he deliberately uses the lateral approach (with intriguing visual examples in one chapter) to sketch in the nature of lateral thinking.

The classic work about choice in business and in life.Most of our everyday decision-making tends to be confrontational. Whether in large meetings, one-to-one or even in our own heads, opposite view points are pitted against each other. Ultimately, there must be a winner and a loser.

Two hundred sixty-five words and phrases are defined in terms of their usage and with the aid of cartoon illustrations

Based on the tenet that an error can lead to the right decision, the author guides the reader through a series of non-mathematical problems and puzzles, all designed to help us analyse our personal style of thinking, work out its strengths and weaknesses, and to consider the potential methods that we never use.

This is a textbook on wisdom. It provides a presentation of "thinking tools", guidelines and principles. Edward de Bono is the author of "Teach Your Child How to Think", "Water Logic, Parallel Thinking" and "Teach Yourself to Think".

In schools we are taught to meet problems head-on: what Edward de Bono calls �vertical thinking�. This works well in simple situations � but we are at a loss when this approach fails. Lateral thinking is all about freeing up your imagination. Through a series of special techniques, in groups or working alone, Edward de Bono shows us how to look at problems from a variety of angles and in so doing offer up solutions that are as ingenious as they are effective. After reading this book you will become a much more productive and formidable thinker.

In this book, Edward de Bono lays out a very simple five-stage structure as a framework for thinking. Much of thinking is a matter of directing attention to what matters and this structure does just that.

From confusing manuals to uninterpretable jargon and bureaucratic red-tape, modern life can be highly complicated and frustrating. For many of us it is almost impossible to make sense of. In Simplicity, lateral-thinking guru Edward de Bono shows us how to bring clarity into our increasingly complicated lives. Through his ten rules of simplicity, he encourages us to be creative and break down the complex into manageable and recognisable parts. By making the complicated simple, you will free up time, reduce stress and make better decisions.

Think, don't fight.Conflicts argues that instead of our age old system of debate we should adopt what de Bono calls a `design idiom' and use lateral thinking to navigate a feud. De Bono explains how this concept of triangular thinking and map making is the way forward.

The last millennium has not been a great success. We have advanced in science and technology, but not much in human behaviour. Is it possible that this has been due to poor thinking? Edward de Bono maintains that the thinking of the last millennium has been concerned with WHAT IS. This is the thinking of analysis, criticism and argument. What we have not sufficiently developed is the thinking concerned with WHAT CAN BE. This is thinking that is creative and constructive, and which seeks to solve conflicts and problems by designing a way forward. The emphasis of his proposed new thinking is on design and not judgement.

Outlines a simple program for helping children develop clear and constructive thinking, covering such matters as making decisions, taking initiatives, and creativity

Despite the modern day emphasis on physical appearance, there is an easier way to become a desirable person rather than dieting or buying expensive clothes. Regardless of outer appearance, if people have minds that are fascinating, creative, and exciting—if they are good thinkers—they can be beautiful. The clear, practical instructions in this guide demonstrate how applying lateral and parallel thinking skills to conversation can improve the mind. The greatest impact is made on others through speech, and by learning how to listen, make a point, and maneuver a discussion, anyone can become more imaginative, more engaging, and more beautiful.

The world is full of problems and conflicts. So why can we not solve them? According to Edward de Bono, world thinking cannot solve world problems because world thinking is itself the problem . And this is getting worse: we are so accustomed to readily available information online that we search immediately for the answers rather than thinking about them. Our minds function like trying to drive a car using only one wheel. There's nothing wrong with that one wheel - conventional thinking - but we could all get a lot further if we used all four... De Bono examines why we think the way we do from a historical perspective and uses some of his famous thinking techniques, such as lateral thinking, combined with new ideas to show us how to change the way we think. If we strengthen our ability and raise our thinking level, other areas of our life - both personal and business success - will improve. De Bono is the master of the original big 'concept' book and his enticement to us to use our minds as constructively as possible should appeal to a whole new generation of fans.

People spend vast amounts of money, time and trouble to achieve and maintain beauty, yet despite its undisputed importance few of us devote similar efforts to being interesting. De Bono demonstrates how anyone can acquire this life-enhancing skill.

In hundreds of little, often aphoristic, "print-byten," de Bono builds on his popular I am right--you are wrong (Viking, 1991), demonstrating how we can change ourselves and the world with positive and constructive attitudes.
