“This could be a very useful book for teachers and non-teachers alike. Dr. DeBono does not claim to be able to turn us all into Miltons, Davincis, and Einsteins…but his techniques provide an alternative to just sitting around waiting for the Muse to appear. The Muse never appears to most of us—hence the value of this book.”— David Cohen, Times Educational SupplementThe first practical explanation of how creativity works, this results-oriented bestseller trains listeners to move beyond a “vertical” mode of thought to tap the potential of lateral thinking“The underlying argument of the book is that there are two kinds of thinking—vertical and lateral. Most of us are educated to think vertically, to go from one logical step to the next, moving all the time towards the one correct solution of our problem. We are not usually educated to be creative, to generate idea after idea….“Dr. DeBono argues that the function of vertical, logical thinking is to argue what is wrong. It is a very useful way of thinking, but it is not the only useful way. To claim it is, is the sort of intellectual arrogance that makes creative thinking unlikely….

Edward De Bono is an accomplished writer whose work has resonated with readers around the world. Edward De Bono has published several books that explore a range of topics, from fiction to nonfiction, and has received critical acclaim for the ability to weave compelling narratives.

Lateral Thinking

Voluntary Discomfort is almost certainly the path to success as you challenge yourself while anticipating failure and giving yourself the mental strength to face it.

ONE WHO PLANS AND PREPARES HIMSELF TO FACE CHALLENGES IS MOST LIKELY TO SUCCEED AGAINST THEM

<h3>Growth is a painful process and so is learning. Seeking comfort can mean being stagnant and leading a repetitive lifestyle.</h3>

IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR KNOWLEDGE, THEN GIVE UP THE HOPE OF FINDING COMFORT

In other words, live up to your image, especially when it is a beneficial one. If people look at you and think that you look like a hard worker, live up to it even if you disagree with them! Never disclose your weaknesses to people in your professional setting. People can use it against you. "IMAGE IS EVERYTHING!"

IF A SNAKE IS NON-POISONOUS, THEN ALSO IT MUST PRETEND LIKE ONE WITH AN ABILITY TO TAKE LIFE

This is a point of definite relevance. In a world where competition is high, there is no dearth of ideas. It is all about who executes their ideas first and the last thing you need is someone copy your ideas.

DO NOT REVEAL YOUR PLANS BEFORE OTHERS AS OTHERS WILL TRY TO HINDER YOUR REGIME

When we make mistakes, especially in a professional setting, it is seen as a blow to one’s ego. This leads to people either treading too carefully or avoiding risks. But a thick skin is required to succeed in business. Make mistakes, learn and grow is the key.

YOU SHOULD BE SHAMELESS WHEN IT COMES ABOUT LEARNING SOMETHING OR DEALING IN BUSINESS

Your job title is not everything when it comes to success. There are many other aspects of life. A CEO may not have good work-life balance, or your Manager may not be the best at what they do. There are many layers to success.

A MAN MIGHT ATTEND BIG POSITION AFTER DOING SOMETHING BUT THAT IS NOT ALL

Nobody likes to surround themselves with negative energy especially in the workplace. And being foul-mouthed means saying things that are hard for people to forgive and are often words that you can never take back. In a professional setting, always use professional language.

PEOPLE WHO USE FOUL LANGUAGE MEET QUICK DESTRUCTION

Honestly, staying away from negative elements is the best way to help yourself. Revenge is tempting, but often, not worth it.

THERE ARE TWO WAYS TO DEAL WITH WICKED PEOPLE. ONE IS TO CRUSH THEM AND THE OTHER IS TO STAY AWAY FROM THEM

Life is meant to be lived to its fullest. In your youthful prime is when a man can slog in order to grow the fastest. Make sure to use your youth to grow and learn so that you can be comfortable in your later stages.

ONE MUST MAKE WORTHY USE OF HIS LIFE. IT IS SHORT AND YOUTH IS EVEN SHORTER.

Have you ever been in the presence of an individual who just seems to take up so much of your energy? Evaluate whether you are counseling a ‘fool’ or are constantly pandering to a resolutely unhappy person.

IT IS SILLY TO COUNSEL THE FOOL AND TO BE IN THE COMPANY OF AN UNHAPPY PERSON

Combat Pilots Sleeping Hacks

For most of us, getting enough sleep isn't a life-or-death kind of thing. Sure, we might make poor decisions, but our being sleepy at the marketing meeting tomorrow is not going to get someone killed. During WWII, though, the U.S. military quickly got hip to the fact that if fighter pilots didn't get sleep, their poor decisions had dire consequences.
