I have read a lot of books about writing, but this one is something different. I really enjoyed it.

Part one is basically an introduction to exploratory writing: the science behind it and how to do it. It was a bit long for my liking and I found myself keen to get to part two.

That was when the book really came into its own. In part two there are loads of writing exercises that are original and valuable, using techniques that I have never come across before. They really help you to get down to the core of what you are trying to say and would be ideal if you are brainstorming ideas for a book or trying to write your way out of a problem.

Don’t let the fact that this book is written for business put you off. There is plenty here for all kinds of writer, no matter how and what you write.

I would recommend this book for any writer who wants techniques to help them free up their writing and help them to plumb their hidden depths.
