Mindsight: A Conceptual System to Implement Innovation in Thinking and Communication

By Dr. Rudy Magnan

Mindsight was conceived as a conceptual system to raise our operating intelligence beyond the fixed notions that limit our mental potential and keep us in the same routine of thinking. Mindsight proposes a design system of thinking that involves a series of skills and strategies to improve the quality of our thinking as identified in the CORT thinking skills program from Edward de Bono.

“This book strongly emphasizes the importance of perception in thinking. This is too often neglected in education. My CoRT school programmes are designed to address this issue and Rudy Magnan has considerable experience in their use. This book lays out why and how perception is so important.” 

 --Dr. Edward de Bono, MD, PhD

“This text contains numerous quotations from the works of prominent thinkers, punctuating the importance of shifting our thinking from old paradigms to new ones.  Magnan introduces the concepts of Mindsight as an inherent ability we all possess to represent a subject visibly rather than by language. This enables us to consider new insights with a visual perspective. He elaborates on the value of Mindsight in education and elsewhere supported by many examples. This book is a “must read” for anyone interested in gaining a better understanding of the mind and an alternative operating skill to enhance one’s quality of thinking.“

-- Dr. David Tanner, PhD, Former Director, DuPont Center for Creativity & Innovation.

The CoRT tools referenced in the Mindsight book provide the foundation tool-set for our Direct Attention Thinking Tools (DATT) workshop.  If you would like to learn more about the DATT tools, the Mindsight book is the only book on the market that describes the concepts.
