Simplicity

Off i have been reading this book called "Simplicity" by Edward De Bono. Its a fascinating book and is lives true to its title. It is simple to read it. You can start from anywhere. You do not have to go into fine print, as the whole book is printed only on the right hand side pages. The left hand side contains excerpts from the right hand side, in big bold letters. So in reality to get the essence of the book, you really have read up the short excerpts on the left hand side pages of the book and be done with it. Most of the themes have been explained using examples and not complex theory. And the examples are from various professions and walks of life: Teaching, Computers, Machines, Systems, etc. Making it easy for people to relate to the core themes. And to top it all, the whole book is hardly 176 pages long, i.e. only 88 pages to read. :)
