If you are not satisfied with the current complex state of things, which affects your work and life, you will be willing to take the initiative to make changes and spend more time thinking about how to make things simpler.
The increasingly complex modern life often makes us inefficient and frustrated. The complicated work rules, cumbersome procedures, and thousands of rules and constraints consume our energy all the time and even make our work and life a mess.
In the book "Simplify", Edward de Bono, the master of innovative thinking, will provide us with a "simple" solution. He will teach us how to successfully integrate the "simplified" thinking rules into daily work and life - why we need to "simplify" work, how business managers can perfectly use the simplification rules, the challenges faced by simplification, and how to introduce complete simplification principles in life. At the same time, through a comprehensive interpretation of the 10 detailed rules of "simplified thinking", the author encourages us to creatively break down the difficult problems encountered at work into recognizable and manageable parts through simplified thinking, and deal with them one by one, so that we can better complete our work, manage teams and enterprises, and help people save more time, reduce more pressure, and calmly enjoy the beauty of simple life.
"Simplify" is one of Dr. Edward de Bono's long-selling classic works and a sister work of "Six Thinking Hats". "Six Thinking Hats", "Horizontal Thinking" and "Simplify" are De Bono's classic business management and thinking training courses. They have been delivered to 54 countries around the world in 50 years, benefiting hundreds of Fortune 500 companies and tens of millions of employees.
