A simple but effective way to become a better thinker. Each colored "thinking hat" represents a different mode of thinking.

	White - facts, figures and objective information
	Red - emotions, feelings, hunches and intuition
	Black - logical negative, judgment and caution
	Yellow - logical positive, feasibility and benefits
	Green - new ideas and creative thinking
	Blue - control of the thinking process

"Putting on" a hat focuses thinking; switching hats redirects thinking. For the record, de Bono wrote this book in a single session on a flight from London to Melbourne.
