Edward De Bono believes in freedom, but poses the question: "If you cannot see clearly, are you making a free choice?" And, that question is at the heart of his new book. De Bono has devoted his life and career to getting his readers- business leaders, educators, and politicians among others- to understand that clarity of thinking is essential to a free society.
