By (author): Ian Gilbert

See the same world you've always seen and that everyone else sees, but think new thoughts. Get children to think in order to make the world better further down the line. Fight back. Think for yourself, before it's too late and before someone else does it for you. Written by Independent Thinking founder and award-winning author Ian Gilbert, this book is an invaluable collection of reflections, ideas and insights on the nature of learning, thinking, creativity and, drawing on Ian's experience across three continents, the role education has in changing not only people's lives but also entire societies. Controversial, humorous and challenging, this book is both moving and personal yet carries an important global call to action from a man with a distinctive voice and a unique perspective who has earned the right to speak his mind.

About Ian Gilbert

Since establishing Independent Thinking 25 years ago Ian Gilbert has made a name for himself across the world as a highly original writer editor speaker practitioner and thinker and is someone who the IB World magazine has referred to as one of the world's leading educational visionaries.The author of several books and the editor of many more Ian is known by thousands of teachers and young people across the world for his award-winning Thunks books. Thunks grew out of Ian's work with Philosophy for Children (P4C) and are beguiling yet deceptively powerful little philosophical questions that he has created to make children's - as well as their teachers' - brains hurt.Ian's growing collection of bestselling books has a more serious side too without ever losing sight of his trademark wit and straight-talking style. The Little Book of Bereavement for Schools born from personal family experience is finding a home in schools across the world and The Working Class - a massive collaborative effort he instigated and edited - is making a genuine difference to the lives of young people from some of the poorest backgrounds.A unique writer and editor there is no other voice like Ian Gilbert's in education today.
