Brief review: This brilliant book is about 'How to think better and take faster decisions'. While it's usage in all situations could be debated but I quite liked the idea offered in the book. It talks about thinking differently on the same subject by wearing six different hats. The white hat is just for facts, figures and objective information. The red hat is to express emotions and feelings. The black hat acts as a devil's advocate and negative argument. The yellow hat shows optimism & positivity. The green hat stands for creativity and finally, the blue hat is about controlling the other hats. The key message is that the same person needs to offer her opinion differently by wearing a different hat to make the the discussion fruitful and conclude faster. Edward de Bono is one of my favorites and I will highly recommend his books.
