{"product_id":"0140258396","title":"Simplicity","description":"\n\u003cp\u003eHave you ever given up trying to programme your video recorder or use a feature on your computer because the instructions are so complicated? Or wondered why it is so difficult to fill in a tax form? Modern life can be unnecessarily frustrating. Needless systems, processes, legislation and red tape only serve to increase our anxiety. Here Edward de Bono, the originator of lateral thinking, shows us how we can bring a little simplicity into our complex lives. The challenge of achieving simplicity requires a lot of creative techniques, including \u003ci\u003ehistorical review\u003c\/i\u003e, which asks whether something we traditionally take for granted is still necessary; \u003ci\u003eshedding\u003c\/i\u003e, where we eliminate what cannot be justified; \u003ci\u003ebulk and exceptions\u003c\/i\u003e, which deals separately with majority and extreme cases; and \u003ci\u003ereframing\u003c\/i\u003e, which can make us realise we are seeking solutions to a non-problem. Edward de Bono concludes his thought-provoking study with ten key rules for simplicity, and ground-breaking plans for an Institute of Simplicity and National Simplicity Campaign.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eCategories:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-Help\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eMemory Improvement\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHealth, Fitness \u0026amp; Dieting\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003ePsychology \u0026amp; Counseling\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMedical Books\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePsychology\u003cul class=\"category-tree\"\u003e\u003cli class=\"category-tree\"\u003eGeneral\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBook details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e de Bono, Edward\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e paperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdition:\u003c\/strong\u003e First Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Penguin UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 320\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780140258394\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Penguin UK","offers":[{"title":"Used - Good","offer_id":49275439448254,"sku":"0140258396-4","price":3.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0640\/9689\/5166\/files\/21iGIRmvaRL._SL500.jpg?v=1791919761","url":"https:\/\/shop.sustainablebooks.com\/products\/0140258396","provider":"Sustainable Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
