How James Altucher Taught Me To Choose Myself At 4:00 AM

Let's take it back to 1967 where Edward de Bono coins the term “lateral thinking” in “The Use of Lateral Thinking.” De Bono's research concluded that the brain is a self-organizing system that routinely interprets and inputs data into patterns inherently not designed for creativity.
