A beautiful mind, says Edward de Bono, is one that can be appreciated by others. It is a beauty that shows mainly through our conversation. Anyone can have a beautiful mind, for it is not a matter of innate intelligence or great knowledge. It is how you use your mind that matters. Learn to use your mind in the way described in this book, and your inner beauty will be able to shine through. Our usual habits of thinking and conversation, with the emphasis on the 'battle' of argument and seeking to prove people wrong, or just to have our say, are not at all beautiful. In a series of chapters on the techniques of conversation, de Bono helps you erase those old 'knee-jerk' habits and learn to converse with others in a way that is thoughtful, mindful and understanding.
