People spend vast amounts of money, time and energy to achieve and maintain beauty, and yet despite its undisputed importance few of us devote similar efforts to be interesting. In this book, the author reveals how playing with ideas, making connections, speculating and using the imagination are at the heart of being an interesting person.

Simple exercises to become the most interesting version of yourself, from the internationally bestselling and world-renowned philosopher and author, Edward de Bono.

Do you want to be like that friend who holds the attention of the whole room with their telling of a story? Do you want your conversations to buzz with intrigue? Do you want your friends, colleagues or the stranger you talk to on the bus to think of you as the most interesting person they've spoken to that week?

Being interesting isn't about having out-of-this-world adventures, it isn't about being beautiful, it isn't even about being intelligent or confident. Being interesting can be taught. Being interesting is a state of mind.

Lateral-thinking guru, Edward de Bono's How to Be More Interesting guides you through over 70 thought exercises to encourage you to use your imagination, bring the most interesting parts of you to the fore and to captivate all who you meet.
