ADVICE

Use Emotion As The Structural Thread

  • Lean into your emotional material rather than over-analysing it.
  • Let the emotional through-line guide the structure of a book or essay.
INSIGHT

Ideas Need Heart To Move People

  • Ideas gain power through relationships and matters of the heart, not just logic.
  • Intellectual cases without emotional force rarely move people to act.
