Why read it?
1 author picked Six Thinking Hats as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Officially “Six Hats” is a framework for group decision-making, marking out the major types of consideration (what are the facts? the dangers? how do we feel about this?...) into six roles denoted by differently colored hats.

The genius is to give each participant a pre-made place to speak from, and to make it visible and compelling. Bring on the hats! as my students would say.
From Anthony's list on to provoke the impresario in every teacher.
