LOGIC
Edward de Bono was born in Malta and after his initial educa-
tion at St Edward's College, Malta, and the Royal University of
Malta, where he obtained a degree in medicine, he proceeded
as a Rhodes Scholar to Christ Church, Oxford, where he gained
an honours degree in psychology and physiology and then a
D.Phil, in medicine. He also holds a Ph.D.fromCambridge. He
has had faculty appointments at the universities of Oxford,
London, Cambridge and Harvard.
Dr Edward de Bono is widely regarded as the leading auth-
ority in the direct teaching of thinking as a skill. He originated
the concept of lateral thinking (which now has an entry in the
Oxford English Dictionary)
and developed formal techniques
for deliberate creative thinking. He has written forty-five books
with translations in twenty-seven languages. He has also made
two televison series. Invited to lecture in forty-five countries
and to address major international conferences, he was, in
1989 asked to chair a special meeting of Nobel Prize laureates.
His instruction in thinking has been sought by many of the
leading business corporations in the world such as IBM, NTT
(Japan), Du Pont, Prudential, Shell, Eriksson, McKinseys, Ciba-
Geigy, Ford and many others.
Dr de Bono runs the largest curriculum programme for the
direct teaching of thinking in schools. This is in use in many
countries around the world. He is the founder of the Cognitive
Research Trust (1969) and the International Creative Forum
which brings together many of the leading corporations in the
world. He also set up the International Creativity Office in New
York to help UN member countries generatefreshideas. The
L-Game of which he is the inventor is said to be the simplest
real game ever invented.
Dr de Bono's work is based on his understanding of the mind
as a self-organizing information system.
