Edward De Bono
Edward de Bono was born in Malta in 1933. He attended St
Edward's College, Malta, during World War II and then
the University of Malta where he qualified in medicine. He
proceeded, as a Rhodes Scholar, to Christ Church, Oxford,
where he gained an honours degree in psychology and
physiology and then a D.Phil in medicine. He also holds a
Ph.D from Cambridge and an MD from the University of
Malta. He has held appointments at the universities of
Oxford, London, Cambridge and Harvard.
Highly regarded as one of the world's best known thinkers,
De Bono coined the phrase "Lateral Thinking". He has
written 62 books that have been translated into over 37
languages and he has been invited to lecture in over 54
countries around the world.
As an expert in thinking, his work ranges from teaching 7-year-olds how to think, to introducing creativity to the CEOs
of billion dollar multi-national corporations.
It has been said of him that 'What Edward de Bono is doing to
teach people how to think may be the most important thing
going on in the world today' - George Gallup, Chairman,
The Gallup Organisation.
