The Origins of Paradoxical Thinking

"The art of contrary thinking may be stated simply: Thrust your thoughts out of the rut. In a word, be a nonconformist when using your mind."
The Anatomy of Hyperchange

"Speed, randomness, surprise?they impact in all directions. They strike deeply in the world of work, where new forms of organization, management style, operations, and employment strategies leap into being. "
The Creativity Potential

"The readiness of individuals to function creatively in their work will shift from choice to requirement."
Paradoxical Thinking: The Green Tortoise Bus Line

"Gardner Kent's act of thinking in opposites was the beginning, not the end, of a creative process that provided Green Tortoise with its salvation."
Paradoxical Thinking: Reverse Duty-Free

"Buying after arrival in the Philippines makes possible the purchase of large gifts for friends and relatives?such objects as motorcycles, washing machines, brass beds, and even farm equipment. "
Try to Make More Mistakes

"To avoid making mistakes, you never do anything."
The Three Classes of Paradoxical Thinking

"When you visualize how to fuse, combine, mingle, integrate or synthesize two opposites to produce a third entity, you are engaging in Hegelian thinking."
Opposites, Change, and Creativity

"As we study opposites and how they operate, we see that opposites are not only a source of innovation but are also the force behind all change, including destructive change."
The Seven Injunctions of the Paradox Mind-Set

"Never underestimate the extent to which you can make things happen because you want them to happen."
The Future of Change

"One of a leader's basic responsibilities is to encourage colleagues to look ahead."
Inventing the Future for Your Company

"Examine the corporate culture for counterinnovative values, beliefs, customs, codes, norms, habits, and procedures. Plan how to substitute better cultural elements."
Stages of Breakthrough Thinking

"Mini-breakthroughs may occur as you go along, each one readying the stage for the next, until all becomes clear."
The Dreams of the Night

"What I really learned was that in science it is important to dream."
Creative Thinking Switches

"Creative thinking is a process in which you switch back and forth between opposite moods, mental processes, and actions."
Creative Thinking Tools

"Research has shown that the most creative R&D engineers are often the ones who do the most talking and chatting with their peers and have little hesitation sharing ideas."
Auxiliary Thinking Tools

"You hope to strike gold by ending up with a solution that entails paradox because paradoxical answers have great power."
