A landmark work in applied cognitive science, Practical Thinking by Edward de Bono presents a rigorous yet accessible examination of how the human mind actually works in everyday situations. Drawing on his background in psychology and medicine, de Bono argues that conventional assumptions about intelligence and reasoning are fundamentally flawed, and instructs readers on the mechanisms behind why people think the way they do. The book chronicles four key abilities of the mind — being right, being wrong, making mistakes, and communicating — unpacking each with clarity and precision. With his signature wit and directness, de Bono illustrates how understanding the actual process of thought, rather than its idealized form, is the true foundation for better decision-making and problem-solving in real life.
