A disappointing read. The book is a clustering of random stories, observations and vignettes loosely corralled together. There is no coherence to the narrative, and while some of the stories are amusing, this is at best a book to pick up now and again when you might be desperate for inspiration. The idea of developing a ‘practice’ and being a ‘professional’ rather than waiting for inspiration to bite is one I agree with – I just don’t think you need 256 pages with which to say it. I would give this book a hard pass.
