“The writing has a voice and tone that gives it an engaging personality without it becoming tiring or irritating. That’s a hard thing to achieve. The writing is also concise, clear and punchy. There were hardly any places where I felt steps in the logical flow of an argument were missing. There are many, many sentences that ring with the clarity and resonance of a well-tempered bell (“… between head and heart you will find psychological states such as trust, honesty and courage”). That makes the book easy to read and comprehend. The writing has an ‘effortless’ feel, which I happen to know is only achieved through effort.

The content itself - the ideas and their organization into a complete framework and narrative — held my attention completely. Of the things I think I knew already, I appreciated how well the author puts them, and of the things that were new to me I felt I was really gaining something special.

These three things - the voice, the prose and the content - combine to make a thoroughly engaging book. It is delightful and enriching to read. I’m probably not this book’s target audience, but the it works for me. This was a real pleasure and I’ve learned a huge amount from the 113
craft-filled pages.”
