(1967)
Lateral thinking is about solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic.
Lateral thinking deliberately distances itself from standard perceptions of vertical thinking, the classic method for problem solving: working out the solution step-by-step from the given data.
This book reveals the brilliancy of many ground breaking solutions. And it can encourage you to make that next important decision.
