Cohousing-L Mailing List: Re: De Bono's Six Hats-confused

[Unnat (zen]

Hi Judy,
There's a very reader friendly book that introduces the 6 Hats method, probabley
available at your local library.  I read this before doing a 2 hour training.
Together it was ample to get a good working understanding of this tool.  The 
rest
is practice.

Warmest regards
