What is it?

My Life x10 is like an insurance policy from School of Thinking (SOT) to help you cover the risk of failure in your career and life.

Competitive Advantage: To get that job, to get that promotion, to gain an advancement and to accelerate your career in today’s world you must have a competitive advantage. You must think faster, be more creative, manage change better and ride the waves of disruption better than ever before.

Brainpower: There is only one way to do this and that is to maximise your own personal brainpower. The software for your brain you learned at school is logic. It’s the right/wrong or black hat judgment software. It’s 2500 years old from the Greeks via the Roman missionaries and our education system. It’s excellent for judging the past but not nearly enough for designing the future. Lateral thinking is ten times faster than logical thinking!

Leadership: In today’s wired world people are led by WOMBATS. People are influenced by word of mouth, especially online. People buy and tell others who buy and tell others. WOMBATs. Word Of Mouth Buy And Tell. To be an influencer and a leader you will not only need the skills of lateral thinking but also the skills of lateral selling … W.O.M.B.A.T. selling. Wombat selling is ten times faster than logical selling!

What does it do? Multiply your life by ten! Intelligence is something we are born with. Thinking is a skill that must be learned. There are four good reasons why you should upgrade your brainpower with lateral thinking skills to multiply your life by ten:

Wealth: Better decisions = better bank balance

Your career, business, investment and commercial success is directly related to the quality of your decisions. Every day you make decisions that will either increase your wealth or decrease your wealth.

Health: Poorer choices = poorer health

Your physical, mental and emotional health cannot be separated from the pattern of choices you make. Every hour of every day you are designing your future. If your designs are weak your future cannot be strong.

Productivity: Faster strategies = faster results

The possibilities, options, strategies, tactics, pathways, networks and environments that are available for you to think about will either accelerate or inhibit your own personal productivity and results.

Security: Deeper thinking = deeper security

Your survival and growth, in a Darwinian sense, cannot be separated from how you make your decisions over time. If you don’t do your own thinking others will do it for you. These other people, institutions or authorities may not do it well, at all, or even in your best interests.


Master of Lateral Thinking: School of Thinking (SOT) receives applications for the Master of Lateral Thinking degree, MLatTh(SOT). In 1979, SOT was the first in the world to create an academic degree in Lateral Thinking. To be considered no previous qualifications are required except the personal commitment to engage in the training for ten minutes a day … every day. It is a two-year program. Applications are received by email. The Online Training: There will be coursework, original research, value-creation and problem-solving business applications required for this leadership program. Like all SOT training, the MLatTh(SOT) program is 100% online. You can even do the training on your smartphone.

Using email since 1995, SOT has migrated the attention of students towards portable screens; away from deskbound and classroom screens. The school is in the cloud. All SOT lessons are conducted by email. 24/7/365, email is simply the No1 global business communication platform. SOT email lessons are easy to mailbox and can be stored safely, logically and reliably. It's a lot easier to organize emails than paper. Lessons can be accessed quickly and easily for study, thinking and review. SOT email allows students to work at their own speed, rather than under the pressure of a conference call or costly in-person meetings. Email is the superior training and productivity tool. Feedback from SOT shows students prefer email!

The Academic Method: School of Thinking follows the academic method of the very first universities where students were individually paired with outstanding tutors and were put to work on solving problems. In addition to coursework, SOT Masters students may earn credits for applied business or professional R&D projects showing evidence of mastery in Lateral Thinking.

MLatTh(SOT) is science-based and is not for everyone.

How does it work?

How will you enrol? BRAINUSER LICENCES: Every individual SOT user must have exactly one brainuser licence. The licence fee is $2880 annually (AUD). The Masters is a two-year program. The SOT user licence includes all SOT tuition fees for the year. Applications are received by email. This licence also provides 24/7/365 access to the SOT experience which includes: 250 DFQs, the x10 Toolkit, Daily Lessons, TT Management, Weekly Lesson Management, DFQ Commentariat, Weekly Booster, Career Acceleration Program (CAP), Reports, Books, Articles, Original Content, Unlimited Online Training, Webinars and Live Events, Automatic Data Capture, Intelligent Follow-up Reminders, Email notifications, Short Term Targets, Long Term Sustainability, Real-time Reporting, Aspirational Rewards, Interactive Communications, Peer-2-Peer support. At the School of Thinking (SOT) we teach thinking, selling and leadership skills to employees every day. The SOT Method for changing behaviour via email is stimulus and response. However, there are three BIG gateway problems to solve. The first gateway is attention. The second is engagement. The third is repetition. Few programs solve these problems: Attention. Nothing at all happens in the brain unless and until there is a capture of attention. Engagement. Attention is fleeting and needs to be sustained. This is the problem of engagement. Repetition. While there is the x10 potential of neuroplasticity in the brain the method for reinforcement or the replacement of patterns relies on the power of repetition. The daily email SOT Method has solved these three problems.

WIRED Magazine, Cover Story Feb 2013: “ Larry Page lives by the gospel of 10x.

Most companies would be happy to improve a product by 10 percent. Not the CEO and cofounder of Google. The way Page sees it, a 10 percent improvement means that you’re basically doing the same thing as everybody else. That’s why Page expects his employees to create products and services that are 10 times better than the competition.”
