  How to Have a Beautiful Mind

  Use creative thinking to become more attractive, with a makeover for your mind!

  We spend a fortune on clothes, cosmetics, diets and workouts – even surgery – to make our bodies more attractive. Yet we hardly consider the one thing that enhances everyone's appeal. It costs nothing, takes
very little time and, without it, even the most physically beautiful person will be unattractive: it is a beautiful mind.

  It doesn't need a high IQ, or reams of knowledge, or a great personality. All it needs is creativity, imagination and empathy – all techniques that anyone can learn. Here Edward de Bono, world famous for changing the way people think, shows you in clear, practical language how to impress people with simple conversational tactics.

  Want to be irresistible? Then follow de Bono's advice: you won't believe how much it can revolutionise your life until you do.

  The Six Value Medals

  Whether as an individual, a business executive or a director you are looking to be the best, this is the book that could improve your company, your career – and your life.

  Values are central to everything: the purpose of any business or government organisation is to deliver value, and increasingly we seek this in our personal lives as well. Yet values are vague and intangible. In this groundbreaking book, Edward de Bono reveals an exciting but simple framework for individuals and business leaders alike for making creative, effective decisions, based on embracing key values – the focus of the 21st century.

  Offering sound advice on decision making and better thinking practice, The Six Value Medals thwarts traditional thinking habits, demonstrates how you can deal with values in a much more definite way and enables you to highlight your strengths while pinpointing areas for improvement, helping you and your company become more successful.

  It's time to start using the Six Value Medals!

  How to Have Creative Ideas

  Six Frames for Thinking about Information

  In a world saturated with facts and figures as never before, how do we focus our attention to make the most of information at our fingertips?

  Using his 'Six Frames' technique, Edward de Bono shows us how to direct our attention in a conscious manner, rather than always letting it get pulled to the unusual and irrelevant. Just as we can decide to look north, west or even south-east, so we can set up a framework for directing our attention and, like all of de Bono's techniques, it is simple, effective and will utterly change the way you interpret information.

  H+ (Plus) A New Religion?

  Edward de Bono has revolutionised the way we think. And now he's about to change the way we live our lives . . .

  In this groundbreaking, thought-provoking book, Edward de Bono offers us a new way of living based on an entirely positive way of life. In H+ (Plus) he provides a framework for happiness through daily acts of help or contribution. Whether this is offering other people something to laugh at or helping an elderly person cross the road, these altruistic acts lead to a sense of achievement, and from achievement comes self-esteem and a belief in oneself.

  Discover the secret to leading a fuller, happier, healthier, more positive way of life.
