Book Reviews of Six Thinking Hats
Book Review: "Hats" is a winner.
Summary: 5 Stars
While it is an artificial construct, the six hats described in this book can be a significant tool for fostering understanding of multiple facets of any problem and the particular dispositions people may have toward solving them. I am looking forward to using this concept in my fall courses to help students construct new knowledge.Book Review: 5 stars for idea, 3 for book - could have been much more concise
Summary: 5 Stars
The idea is great, but the book expounds too long on each hat. I would have preferred something between the short summary here: http://www.mindtools.com/pages/article/newTED_07.htm and the book. Still, great stuff, and it's worth buying the book, but I'd just stick to the summaries at the start/end of each section.Book Review: Talk about fluff with no substance
Summary: 1 Stars
I don't know that much about the author, but this book is nothing but the usual obvious bromides. Optimal Thinking: How to Be Your Best Self by Rosalene Glickman Ph.D. is superior to this book in every aspect. I also suggest Learned Optimism by Martin Seligman, Ph.D., as a much more worthwhile read .
Book Review: Powerful tool - simply explained
Summary: 4 Stars
Dr. de Bono's method is a simple and powerful one - by concentrating all thinking in one direction and making sure all competing views get attention, a very strong output can be achieved in the minimum timespan. I would recommend it to any team going through a problem solving exercise.Book Review: Six Thinking Hats
Summary: 5 Stars
This is probably the best book I've read in a long time that addresses all aspects of handling project teams or other types of meetings in a very sofisticated yet unimposing way. I even started using some of the concepts with my husband and family as well, and it really works.
