Imagine this: You’ve got a great idea and all you hear are the yes-buts.. “Yes but that’s been tried before and it didn’t work.” “Yes but shouldn’t we just let it sit for a while?” “Yes but what if it doesn’t work?”. Published in English for the first time this international bestseller introduces the power of omdenken—or flip thinking—to transform stuck-in-the-mud pessimistic thought into an inventive curious mindset so you can stop saying “yes but” to life and start saying “yes and.”.

From disrupting (turn all the rules upside down) to flaunting (play up what you want to hide) from importing (get the enemy on board) to amplifying (do more of what works) Gunster’s strategies and stories will have you approaching even the most challenging problems—whether an annoying neighbor or an angry colleague or an unhappy partner—in a whole new way.
