	MRB: Six Thinking Hats
		Before reading the books, "I didn't get it." 6 hat thinking seemed "corny" before I understood that the hats were not real, they are just imaginary tools that give us permission to think in differently focused ways.
		Each aspect of thinking is given a colour, so participants will wear the SAME hat at the same time, to view topics from a similar perspective.
		It would be possible to give a summary here of the six hats, and their meanings - however, it is better to let de Bono do that.

	"Six Thinking Hats, An Essential Approach to Business Management" by Edward de Bono
		In many cultures there is already a strong association between thinking and "thinking hats" or "thinking caps." The value of a hat as a symbol is that it indicates a role.
		There is a huge temptation to use the hats to describe and categorize people, such as "she is fl hat" or "he is a green hat person." That temptation must be resisted.
		With the Six Hats method, the intelligence, experience and knowledge of all the members of the group are fully used.

	Duncan Williamson: Book Review Six Thinking Hats bon.html
		Six thinking hats may well have a similar impression on me, although it is by no means new to me: I haven't reviewed it before, that's all.
		The blue hat is concerned with control, the organization of the thinking process and the use of the other hats.
		So it took me a while to bring myself even to think about the six thinking hats: that old fashioned imagery dates the book, by the way in my opinion and that's borne out by the fact that it was first published in 1985.

		Six Thinking Hats review:1 stars (Talk about fluff with no substance) - I don't know that much about the author, but this book is nothing but the usual obvious bromides.
		In short, the six hats refer to six different perspectives (white-facts, red-emotions, yellow-positive views, fl-negative views, green-creative/alternatives, blue-organizing/goals).
		The author suggests that by putting one hat/perspective at a time, thinking and thus problem solving will be much enhanced, both on an individual and on a group discussion setting when all participants are required to put on the same color of hats together sequentially.

		With the tradition of argument or adversarial thinking, each side takes a different position and then seeks to prove that the other side is wrong.
		With Parallel Thinking both sides, or all parties, are thinking in parallel, using the same style of thinking simultaneously.
		A simple and practical way of parallel thinking is to use the Six Thinking Hats method - this results in dramatically shorter meetings, (up to 75% time saving) and more constructive outcomes.

		The strategy was an attempt to teach thinking without indoctrination; to deal with issues of concern to pupils and to look, in particular, at issues of boys' under achievement.
		Children were encouraged to say which hat they were wearing, and also to vary their hats, as they addressed problems in undertaking their work in the classroom.
		At a later stage, groups within the same class were assigned a different hat and asked to report back from the perspective of the 'hat' they were 'wearing'.

		Edward de Bono highlights different types of thinking by comparing each with wearing a hat of a particular color.
		His hope is that by doing so he will enable children (and adults) to realize that they have choices about the kind of thinking they use for any task, whether it be a discussion, making a decision or solving a problem.
		The idea is that when a particular hat is being used only the person wearing (or holding) it may speak and only the type of thinking the hat represents may be used.
