This has been an unusual book for me to read. Normally I would be reading a thriller or If not that then something closely relating to work. I certainly would not normally pick what sounds dangerously like a self help book. However while walking through Heathrow Airport on a far longer than normal stopover I happened to see it in the New Titles section of one of the bookstores. Something about it caught my eye and as I had already heard of Mr de Bono and his Thinking Hats I thought it may be interesting.
Once on the plane I sat down and started to read, it did not take long to realise that this was no new release and was probably written in the early 80's. The selection of interviewees and some of the comments were clearly made before certain events/developments like Clive Sinclair’s C5 electric car. The list of people interviewed is broad and interesting and as well as Sir Clive Sinclair Jackie Stewart and Sting stand out as particularly interesting to me. I am sure that just about everyone who reads the book will be able to find someone they admire or interested in in the remaining list of interviewees.
Is it a great book?
Probably not to my mind as it has taken me some 6 months to read
Have I read it from cover to cover?
I don’t think so but that does not matter as there is plenty of stuff you can pick up as you weave in and out of the book.
Did I enjoy the read?
Yes Indeed I did
Have I changed my own tactics?
Not really but I think that I may understand them better!
Would I recommend it?
Yes if after reading this you are still interested I think you should read it, but I am not going to try to persuade you!
If you want to buy the book then This Link
will give me a cut of the sale price
