In this book, the author Edward de Bono presents the significance of intelligence, information, and thinking when used together. Summary Of The Book Edward de Bono has stated in his book that the qualities of intelligence, information, and thinking are not effective when they are used individually. He compares a human with a car and defines what these three qualities must be in terms of a car’s characteristics. The author says that intelligence is the horsepower of a car, thinking is like the skill with which the car is driven, and information is like the road map available to the driver. These components present individually will not suffice. However, they can be very effective when used together. Dr. De Bono shows the reader how to combine all the three for enabling the fulfillment of one’s potential and in developing really creative ideas.
