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...' Stop saying 'yes but...' to life and to start saying 'yes and...' This international bestseller introduces the power of flip thinking to transform stuck-in-the-mud pessimistic 'yes but' thinking into an inventive curious 'yes and' mindset.

Berthold Gunster presents his fifteen flip thinking strategies that will transform your thinking away from limitations and threats and towards possibilities and opportunities. From disrupting (turn all the rules upside down) to flaunting (play up what you want to hide) and importing (get the enemy on board) to amplifying (focus on what works and do more of that) Gunster's strategies and stories will have you approaching even the most challenging problems at work home and at play in a whole new way.

Eddy de Wind, a Dutch doctor, was shipped to Auschwitz with his wife, Friedel, whom he had met at the Westerbork labour camp in the Netherlands. At Auschwitz, they made it through the brutal selection process and were put to work. Each day became a battle for survival. This is his extraordinary account of life as a prisoner, and a unique and timeless story that reminds us of what we as humans are capable of, but that there is hope, even in hell.
