Lateral Thinking To Expand Your Mind's Problem Solving Skills
Solving a difficult problem requires some creative thinking. Often our thoughts just keep going around in circles. To break free of this pattern you need to use some random external stimulus. The Random External Stimulus Technique or REST pushes your thoughts out on a tangent and into an area that is guaranteed to create new ideas. REST provides many possible solutions. Although most ideas will be silly, even ridiculous, it's like mining for diamonds in a pile of coal. The point of REST is to give your brain options! Interrupt your thought pattern and go in a different direction where a solution maybe found. I have written a book on Lateral Thinking that sells on Amazon for $10 bucks but I give away a free copy on my Lateral Thinking website.
