Review :
A very innovative approach ... engages and stimulates the reader with interesting 'thinking exercises' Professor Cary L. Cooper, CBE, Professor of Organizational Psychology and Health, Lancaster University. Stephen Reid has brought together an abundance of tips and tools to help increase mental agility and creativity. A must for anyone trying to enhance their thinking skills, and essential for anyone seeking to improve their personal and organisational performance. Mark Jenkins Professor of Business Strategy Cranfield School of Management Our world is becoming increasingly subject to radical change. To survive we need to cultivate the ability to tolerate ambiguity and to view problems from different perspectives. Stephen Reid's book shows us that thinking skills can be learnt and improved. He provides a gymnasium for the mind where we can improve our mental fitness and thrive in a world of change. Ian Turner, Managing Director Duke Corporate Education A book that helps us to clear our minds and enable us to think ... an important contribution ... I congratulate Stephen on his work. Dr Shailendra Vyakarnam Judge Business School University of Cambridge
