Dear Chinese Readers,

These books are practical guides on how to think.

My father said “you cannot dig a hole in a different place by digging the same hole deeper”. We have learned to dig holes using logic and analysis. This is necessary but not sufficient. We also need to design new approaches, to develop skills in recognizing and changing how we look at the situation. Choosing where to dig the hole.

I hope these books inspire you to have many new and successful ideas.

Caspar de Bono

亲爱的中国读者们，

这套书是关于如何思考的实用指南。

我父亲曾说过：“将同一个洞挖得再深，也无法挖出新洞。”我们都知道用逻辑和分析来挖洞，这很必要，但并不够。我们还需要设计新的方法，培养自己的技能，来更好地了解和改变我们看待事物的方式，即选择在哪里挖洞。

希望这套书能激发您产生许多有效的新想法。
