I guess DeBono' books sell because he talks abt thinking. So, how does one teach Adults to think Atanu? I guess DeBono’ books sell because he talks abt thinking.

It is a nice amusing trick but does not get the dog very far. DeBono's books are the equivalent of a dog-trainer's handbook. :) Adults can be taught to think pretty much like a dog can be taught to walk upright on its hind legs.

As far as I understand, the thinking mode is off. It is to be switched on. Hence the CPU will run only when it is switched on. I rather believe, that education system should have that environment of liberty and freedom which encourage the being to initiate his/her thinking process, then let him decide his way of thinking. How many of our actions/decision in a regular day are based on our brains/intellect??? Question to think.... Cheers, Kiran Hi Atanu,
