"See all points of view and make better decisions"-- Cover.
Abstract:
"Most of our everyday decision-making tends to be confrontational. Whether in large meetings, one-to-one or even in our own heads, opposite view points are pitted against each other. Ultimately, there must be a winner and a loser. In I Am Right, You Are Wrong, lateral-thinking guru Edward de Bono challenges this 'rock logic' of rigid categories and point-scoring arguments which is both destructive and exhausting. By favouring 'water logic' over 'rock logic' Dr De Bono overturns conventional wisdom, and will help you to become a better thinker and decision maker."-- Publisher description.
