Imagine this: You've got a great idea, and all you hear are the yes-buts.

"Yes, but that's been tried before, and it didn't work."
"Yes, but shouldn't we just let it sit for a while?"
"Yes, but what if it doesn't work?"

Now in English for the first time, this international bestseller introduces the power of flip thinking to transform stuck-in-the-mud, pessimistic thought into an inventive, curious mindset, so you can stop saying "yes, but . . . " to life, and start saying "yes, and . . . "

In Flip Thinking, Berthold Gunster, the founder of the Dutch philosophy omdenken--or flip thinking--presents fifteen strategies to transform your thoughts away from limitations and negativities and towards possibilities and opportunities. From disrupting (turn all the rules upside down) to flaunting (play up what you want to hide), from importing (get the enemy on board) to amplifying (do more of what works), Gunster's strategies and stories will have you approaching even the most challenging problems--whether an annoying neighbor or an angry colleague or an unhappy partner--in a whole new way.
