Banana Thinking
Creative & Innovative Concepts for Personal Effectiveness
Editorial Review
A work associate came into my office the other day eating a banana peeled from the bottom instead of the stem end. I told him that I had never thought of peeling a banana in such a manner. He told me that he had recently seen a TV documentary on a family of gorillas surrounded a banana tree. The gorillas peeled bananas from the bottom as fast as they could so that each gorilla could eat as many as possible. Learning a new way to peel a banana should show that unlimited possibilities await discovery.
