"A man writes the same number, and nothing else, on 20 sheets of paper. Why?" "A man went around the world in a ship. Yet he was always in sight of land. How come?" These are examples of lateral thinking puzzles. You're given a statement about a situation that you have to use as a starting point to arrive at a particular explanation or solution. Often there can be many possible scenarios to explain the puzzle, but the challenge is that you have to find the "right" answer. Typically the puzzles contain insufficient information for you to immediately figure out the solution (clues are provided). When you get stuck, attack the problem from a new direction--think laterally! Not only are these puzzles fun, they also help to develop skills in questioning, deduction, logic, and, of course, lateral thinking. Answers: It's January and he is writing the date of the year on all the checks in his checkbook to avoid putting last year's date by mistake; He was an astronaut in a space ship. 96 pages, 25 b/w illus., 5 3/8 x 8 1/4.

By analyzing films and fictional characters, this study explores improvisational styles in thinking and emotional adaptation. Building on her first book, Was Sherlock Holmes Left-Handed or Spatial Intelligence and Creativity, author Dalma Kalogjera-Sackellares introduces a model linking lateral reasoning with emotional intelligence. Kalogjera-Sackellares, a clinical psychologist, uses a host of examples to demonstrate improvisation and imagination, as well as the study's focus on lateral reasoning and intelligence. She draws on scenes from movies such as Bedknobs and Broomsticks and A Beautiful Mind and characters such as Amelia Bedelia, Mrs. Douglas from Green Acres, and Lt. Drebin from the Naked Gun series. Through these examples, this study examines the ecology--that is, the natural relationship--of lateral reasoning, emotional intelligence, and creativity. Through formal study, years of research, and practice in clinical psychology, Kalogjera-Sackellares captured significant features or markers of those processes as they have revealed themselves to her throughout the years.
