Infused with equal parts scientific research, unique tips, and humour, this brilliant book is an invitation to go deeper in our private inner worlds to be able to better change our outer one.
— Molly Beck, CEO of Messy.fm and author of Reach Out
Alison Jones’s Exploratory Writing is a gem of a book, helping to bring to life the reason why writing can be such a salutary activity for business people, especially in these complex, fast-changing and perturbed times. Aside from ascribing value and benefit to the skill of handwriting (yes, with pen and paper), Jones sets out why and how, in the most practical and pragmatic of ways, to set aside on a regular basis a short amount of time to write. Not only is Exploratory Writing good for business, it’s good for the soul.

Outstanding.
— Jonathan MacDonald, change expert, speaker and author of Powered by Change
It’s a simple question but a profound one: what if we saw the blank page as a space for exploring ideas rather than simply expressing them? Anyone who writes regularly knows that writing is a powerful tool for thinking. This book makes that magic accessible to everyone, at any time. Read it – and prepare to take notes!
