Can be a tough read, but it’s worth it for the energy and excitement of being a part of that experience. Wonderful scenic descriptions of a sacred part of the world many of us may never see.

This book is a beautiful story of three generations of restless, independent Dominican women – born to wander and question their surroundings, refusing to live within established gender roles or practice traditional Dominican lifestyles. Excellent! And very very sexy.

Great guide to luring out your latent ideas and harnessing your own creative thinking.

Interesting text, great for history, mythology and anthropology buffs. Can be a little dry, but the information itself makes up for it!

Having read this awhile ago, my impression of it is vague – but I do remember it highlighting different learning and thinking styles, making points we might miss in everyday challenges and using your own natural brain power to move up and out of creative ‘ruts’.
