The Six Thinking Hats book

"The Six Thinking Hats" by Edward de Bono offers a structured approach to problem-solving and decision-making by encouraging individuals to view situations through six different 'modes' or perspectives. Each hat represents a distinct way of thinking: white (facts and data), red (feelings and intuition), black (critical judgment), yellow (optimism and benefits), green (creativity and new ideas), and blue (organization and control). By consciously switching hats, teams can explore issues more comprehensively, reduce conflicts, and foster clearer communication. This method helps facilitate balanced, productive discussions and innovative solutions in various personal and professional contexts.
