It's not something everyone gets, and it's quite rare, but once you have experienced it, you have a greater chance of experiencing it again in the future, especially if you see an amazing piece of artwork. Tourists who love art, especially in places that are special to them, might feel it more. So, if you ever feel a bit funny looking at art, just know you're not alone!

He created the "Six Thinking Hats" method to help people make better decisions. The hats make people think outside their normal way of thinking. The "Six Thinking Hats" method involves 6 different coloured hats: blue, white, red, green, yellow and black. The greatest benefit of the thinking hats is that each |  | hat provides you with different strategies. It means that with each hat you think from a different perspective. In general, we all mostly have one way of thinking which we prefer. However, it might not be beneficial to only stick to one way of thinking. The thinking hats method helps us consider problems from other angles that we wouldn't usually. In this way, we explore different points of view relating to a problem and become better at analysing problems from different perspectives to find solutions. The beauty of Edward De Bono's hats is in their simplicity. They are easy to learn and apply in discussions. This method is a great tool for group collaboration and decision-making. Track 20 Part 2 Now, let's see what each hat means. The Red hat represents the emotional view. When using this hat, you ask yourself the question - How do I feel about this? You can express emotions and feelings and share fears, likes, dislikes, loves and hates. The Yellow hat represents the logical positive view. Under this hat, you explore the positives and try to find the advantages to consider. The Black hat represents the logical negative view. "What are the disadvantages, risks, difficulties and problems?, What might go wrong?" are the questions that you should ask under this hat. The White hat is the information hat. This is the neutral view. The hat is used when you need information. Under this hat, you ask the questions - What are the facts? What does the data say? The Green hat is the creative view. When using this hat, you ask yourself the question - What new and creative ideas do I have? What are the possibilities, alternatives and new ideas? The Blue hat is the process hat. Under this hat the questions that you ask yourself are - How can all of this thinking be organised? Have all of the other hats been used? How can I summarise the information?
