De Bono, Edward — Simplicity

Viking/Penguin, London, 1998. First Edition, Hardcover (Original Black Cloth). Near Fine Condition/Near Fine. 9780670870127 Edward de Bono's book Simplicity is a guide on how to cut through modern confusion, bureaucracy, and jargon by treating simplicity as a conscious value, habit, and skill. Complexity is a default trap: Systems, organizations, and routines naturally grow more complicated over time. Simplicity requires intent: Dealing with unneeded complexity wastes mental energy and causes stress. Lateral thinking is the tool: Creative thinking helps break down complex problems into manageable, recognizable pieces. According to de Bono the first step is to make simplicity a goal, or priority, then set about looking for solutions. He does list a variety of simplifying processes, and these are helpful, along with some very compelling examples from industry. Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. 305 pages. Silver titles spine.
