“Omdenken” is the Dutch art of Reverse Thinking, and essentially means turning a problem into an opportunity. This positive and solution-oriented popular theory is the foundation of the tremendous success of Berthold Gunster, an internationally influential author and speaker. The central idea is that anyone can create something new and positive from an issue. His method not only solves a problem, but also creates a new opportunity.

The book shows us what to do when facing obstacles in various situations, whether at work or at home with the children or during our free time. “Omdenken” is a method that teaches us how to solve problems, as well as how to think differently. Step by step, we learn how to approach everything constructively.

Berthold Gunster presents a series of fifteen strategies that will shift your thinking, guiding you from limitations and fears to possibilities and opportunities. From disturbance (turn things upside down) to demonstration (highlight what you wish to hide), and from integration (make your enemy your friend) to reinforcing your strengths (focus on what works, and do more of it), Gunster’s strategies and examples will help you tackle even the most challenging issues at work and at home and act in a new way.
