"The Mechanism of the Mind" (1969) and "I am Right, You are Wrong" (1990).
- Edward de Bono in "The Mechanism of the Mind" (1969) and "I am Right, You are Wrong" (1990).
- Edward de Bono suggests that the mind is a pattern-matching machine, and that it works by recognising stories and behaviour and putting them into familiar patterns. When a familiar connection is disrupted and an alternative unexpected new link is made in the brain via a different route than expected, then laughter occurs as the new connection is made. This theory explains a lot about jokes. For example:
- Why jokes are only funny the first time they are told: once they are told the pattern is already there, so there can be no new connections, and so no laughter.
- Why jokes have an elaborate and often repetitive set up: The repetition establishes the familiar pattern in the brain. A common method used in jokes is to tell almost the same story twice and then deliver the punch line the third time the story is told. The first two tellings of the story evoke a familiar pattern in the brain, thus priming the brain for the punch line.
- Why jokes often rely on stereotypes: the use of a stereotype links to familiar expected behaviour, thus saving time in the set-up.
- Why jokes are variants on well-known stories (e.g. the genie and a lampand a man walks into a bar): This again saves time in the set up and establishes a familiar pattern.
新華出版社也出版 de Bono的《六雙行動鞋》 2003
香港機場書店W. H. Smith則擺他的新書，類似如何開發自己具備beautiful mind…
一本烂得更严重的书是爱德华•德•博诺(Edward De Bono)的《思考！在为时已晚之前》(Think! Before It's Too Late)。德博诺的观点似乎是，自从古希腊人以来，没有人进行过正确的思考——除了德•博诺自己以外。遗憾的是，从目录页来判断，他要进行任何新的思考 都为时已晚：他不过是重弹横向思维和《六顶思考帽》(Six Thinking Hats)的老调。

Lateral thinking is solving problems through an indirect and creative approach, using reasoning that is not immediately obvious and involving ideas that may not be obtainable by using only traditional step-by-step logic.[1]The term was promulgated in 1967 by Edward de Bono. He cites as an example the Judgment of Solomon, where King Solomon resolves a dispute over the parentage of a child by calling for the child to be cut in half, and making his judgment according to the reactions that this order receives.[2] Edward de Bono also links lateral thinking with humour, arguing there's a switchover from a familiar pattern to a new, unexpected one. It is in this moment of surprise that generates laughter and new insight which demonstrates an ability to see a different thought pattern that initially was not obvious.[3]
According to de Bono, lateral thinking deliberately distances itself from the standard perception of creativity as "vertical" logic (the classic method for problem solving).
