He has started to set up the World Center for New Thinking and Peace Studies, based in Malta, which he describes as a "kind of intellectual Red Cross". In 1995, he created the futuristic documentary film, ''2040: Possibilities by Edward de Bono'', depicting a lecture to an audience of viewers released from a cryogenic freeze for contemporary society in the year 2040.〔 Schools from over 20 countries have included de Bono's thinking tools into their curriculum,〔 and he has advised and lectured at board level at many of the world's leading corporations. Convinced that a key way forward for humanity is better language, he published "The Edward de Bono Code Book" in 2000. In this book, he proposed a suite of new words based on numbers, where each number combination represents a useful idea or situation that currently does not have a single-word representation. For example, de Bono code 6/2 means "Give me my point of view and I will give you your point of view." Such a code might be used in situations where one or both of two parties in a dispute are making insufficient effort to understand the other's perspective. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Edward de Bono」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
