Eventually it turned out that lateral thinking is quite a new concept and has been coined in the 1960’s by Edward de Bono. I’ve ordered a used copy of his book and started reading a few days ago – this is my overvie… text/html 2023-06-29T17:10:11+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.untalkative.one/reading:2018:w41?rev=1688058611&do=diff Week 2018-W41 in reading I’ve recently decided that I’d start a new series of weekly posts about interesting arcicles I’ve read.

Although it doesn’t relate to what I do at work, I find his writing thought-provoking. text/html 2023-06-29T17:21:16+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://www.untalkative.one/reading:2018:w48?rev=1688059276&do=diff Week 2018-W48 in reading Although I have’t read it, I’ve started this week with the first episode of Libre Lounge, a podcast by Christopher Lemmer Webber and Serge Wroclawski.
