传记与作者历程
Edward de Bono was born on May 19, 1933, in Valletta, Malta, into a family deeply rooted in academia and public service. His father was a professor of medicine, and his mother, a journalist and political activist, played a pivotal role in securing voting rights for women on the island. From a young age, de Bono demonstrated remarkable independence and intellect, entering boarding school at seven and graduating from St. Edward’s College, Malta, at the age of fifteen. His prodigious talents led him to the Royal University of Malta, where he completed a B.Sc. and M.D. by the age of 22.
