These two short works sit firmly within Edward de Bono’s way of thinking, very much a practical approach to philosophy. 

Opportunities focuses on how possibilities are recognised, structured, and acted upon—arguing that opportunity is not “found”, instead it is constructed through deliberate  innate perceptions; manipulated or otherwise. It’s quite methodical, slightly eccentric, and unapologetically instrumental.

Future Positives extends that logic forward. Rather than predicting the future, de Bono asks how futures are framed, and how optimism can function as a tool rather than just a vibe. It looks at the inner workings of how societies, organisations, and individuals limit themselves by defaulting to risk-aversion and critique.

Read together, the pair offers a clear snapshot of de Bono’s mid-period thinking—lean, repetitive in places, but often unexpectedly clarifying.

Sold only as a pair.
