Everyday objects get a whole new meaning or come to life by
adding small sketches to them. This is the principle behind this
new poetic and funny memory game. One card shows an everyday object
and the matching card makes you look at the object in a totally
different way because the artist added a little line or drawing.
Your task, as ever, is to find the matching cards. Based on the
blog stop-watch.nl by Dutch illustrator Tineke Meirink.
The Mechanism of Mind presents Edward de Bono's original theories
on how the brain functions, processes information and organises it.
It explains why the brain, the 'mechanism', can only work in
certain ways and introduces the four basic types of thinking that
have gone on to inform his life's work, namely 'natural thinking',
'logical thinking',' mathematical thinking' and 'lateral thinking'.
De Bono also outlines his argument for introducing the word 'PO' as
an alternative to the word 'NO' when putting lateral thinking into
practice. Drawing on colourful visual imagery to help explain his
theories and thought-processes, from light bulbs and sugar cubes to
photography and water erosion, The Mechanism of Mind remains as
fascinating and as insightful as it was when it was first published
in 1969. This is a must-read for anyone who wants to gain a greater
understanding of how the mind works and organises information - and
how Edward de Bono came to develop his creative thinking tools.
