Book Review: Lateral Thinking by Edward de Bono

less than 1 minute read

Published:

Explains the difference between vertical thinking (digging an existing hole deeper) and lateral thinking (finding a new hole to dig). Encourages the reader to inculcate lateral thinking practices in their daily lives and motivates them to think different (apple motto reference xD).

Really enjoyed this quick read, which has numerous examples of how lateral thinking led to inventions in the past, such as Edison, Edward Jenner, Faraday, and many more. Would recommend it to everyone, especially those working in Science or Engineering research.

Goodreads Review.

The advantages of working with small satellites and particularly embedded systems are that they do not require a lot of fancy equipment. When the covid pandemic stuck, I was halfway through my final year project, which involved the designing development of a rocket payload. Most of my work was lab-based, as I needed to develop flight software for this payload and test it on the target embedded system which was the onboard computer.
