Features: In times of change, the only thing people lack is a method for thinking about problems. We need to make plans for the future through various parallel hypotheticals. 2500 years ago, the traditional Western thinking system was built on analysis, judgment, and debate. Although this system still holds a very important position today, it lacks the constructive, creative vitality and the energy to design the future that are urgently needed in times of change. Problems that can be solved through analytical methods are gradually being solved, while the remaining problems can only be addressed through "design." Edward de Bono's book is the fundamental basis of its thinking framework tool—the Six Thinking Hats. By discussing the practical operation of thinking, it provides an in-depth analysis of the performance and relevant application value of the Six Thinking Hats, a parallel thinking tool, at multiple levels including personal life, career, and business management. Today, 25 centuries later, in order to achieve the value design of the future, it is time to shift from the traditional method of seeking truth to de Bono thinking!
