Customer Reviews

A wonderful book on cognitive awarness.

If you can get your hands on this book, I would recommend it. Of course, there are many books out there and one should read them as one sees fit. However, what I like about this book is how it helped me establish a mental frame of reference, i.e., how I think my brain works. Realistically, the human mind is very complicated and "still" remains to be discovered. But I feel Edward De Bono's book will provide you with the mental tools you need to begin the process of self reflection. (Something that is sorely lacking in today's society.) From this starting point, one will hopefully find the means to begin the process of elevating one's level of awarness as a living and free thinking human being. This, of course, presumes one is interested in doing so. :)
