Future Positive

Product Description

'Of one thing in life we can be sure. The quality of our life in the future will depend on the quality of our thinking.' Why are we more prone to be negative? And how can we become more positive, both as individuals and as a society? We need to develop new concepts- some brand new and some slightly different. We have to make a deliberate and positive effort to secure a positive future; we must harness the focused power of human thinking unleashed from its pettiness. Since Future Positive was first published in 1979, our belief in the power of positive thinking has only deepened. De Bono was on to something in 1979- the future is positive - if we want it to be.

Edward de Bono studied at Christ Church, Oxford (as a Rhodes Scholar). He also holds a PhD from Cambridge and an MD from the University of Malta. He has held appointments at the universities of Oxford, London, Cambridge and Harvard. In 1967 de Bono invented the now commonly used term 'lateral thinking' and, for many thousands, indeed millions, of people worldwide, his name has since become a symbol of creativity and new thinking. He has written numerous books, which have been translated into 34 languages, and his advice is sought by Nobel laureates and world leaders alike. www.debono.com
