“This is a book full of wonder. It’s not today nor yesterday that I heard the phrase, ‘if you’re not thinking for yourself, you’re not thinking at all’. This minefield of a book encourages you think for yourself. It leads you to all sorts of creative, meaningful, personal places that suit you best. Read it slowly.”

Dr Liam Moggan- ‘The Coach’s Coach’
