Running from poverty and hopelessness, Ramón Espejo boarded one of the great starships of the mysterious, repulsive Enye.

Most of our everyday decision-making tends to be confrontational. Whether in large meetings, one-to-one or even in our own heads, opposite view points are pitted against each other. Ultimately, there must be a winner and a loser. In I Am Right, You Are Wrong , lateral-thinking guru Edward de Bono challenges this `rock logic` of rigid categories and point-scoring arguments which is both destructive and exhausting. By favouring `water logic` over `rock logic` Dr De Bono overturns conventional wisdom, and will help you to become a better thinker and decision maker.
