I Am Right, You Are Wrong: From This to the New Renaissance: From Rock Logic to Water Logic

Edward de Bono argues that Western thinking, rooted in ancient Greek adversarial logic, is fundamentally inadequate for human affairs, and proposes a shift from 'rock logic' (fixed categories, absolutes, contradiction) to 'water logic' (flow, context, perception) grounded in how self-organizing neural networks actually work. The book introduces a suite of practical thinking tools—lateral thinking, provocation, the Six Thinking Hats, and operacy—as foundations for a New Renaissance in human thought.
