Water Logic
Publisher: Viking Penguin
Year Published: 1993
When approaching a complex problem, it is often difficult fo keep in mind
the many factors involved and to retain a clear view of how they
relate to one another. Edward de Bono has built his reputation on providing
thinking tools that are very simple to use and yet are powerful in their
effect. In this book he puts forward a new method for problem solving.
De Bono contends that traditional logic is static, based on the solid
foundations of 'is' and identity. In contrast to this traditional 'rock logic',
he proposes 'water logic' which is based on 'to' and the flow of the mind:
"What does this lead to?" as opposed to "What is...?" This new logic
is surprisingly easy to learn and use, and results in a visual 'flowscape',
which allows you to lay our and then look at your thinking.
