Imagine this: You’ve got a great idea, and all you hear are the yes-buts. “Yes, but that’s been tried before, and it didn’t work.” “Yes, but shouldn’t we just let it sit for a while?” “Yes, but what if it doesn’t work?” Published in English for the first time, this international bestseller introduces the power of omdenken—or flip thinking—to transform stuck-in-the-mud, pessimistic thought into an inventive, curious mindset, so you can stop saying “yes, but” to life, and start saying “yes, and.” In this riveting book, Berthold Gunster presents fifteen strategies to transform your thoughts away from limitations and negativities and towards possibilities and opportunities. From disrupting (turn all the rules upside down) to flaunting (play up what you want to hide), from importing (get the enemy on board) to amplifying (do more of what works), Gunster’s strategies and stories will have you approaching even the most challenging problems—whether an annoying neighbor or an angry colleague or an unhappy partner—in a whole new way." categories: - Non-fiction - Personal Development authors: - [[Berthold Gunster]] published_on: 2023-09-05 publisher: Ballantine Books pages: 305 isbn: 593723562 cover: http://books.google.com/books/content?id=o6isEAAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&source=gbs_api local_cover: 50 Resources/51 Attachments/51.03 Public/Flip Thinking (book).jpg link: https://www.amazon.com/Flip-Thinking-Life-Changing-Problems-Opportunities/dp/0593723554 tags: - type/book - books - summaries - zone/areas - zone/areas/literature_notes created: 2025-08-03T09:46 updated: 2026-04-01T14:45 public_note: true --- # Flip Thinking (book) - Author(s): [[Berthold Gunster]] - Link: https://www.amazon.com/Flip-Thinking-Life-Changing-Problems-Opportunities/dp/0593723554 ![[50 Resources/51 Attachments/51.03 Public/Flip Thinking (book).jpg|200]] ## Description ## Quotes  ## Key ideas ... ## Chapter 1: ... ... ## References -
