Such an introspective taboo makes it hard for us to think clearly about our nature and the explanations for our behaviour. The aim of this book, then, is to confront our hidden motives directly – to track down the darker, unexamined corners of our psyches and blast them with floodlights.

To this end, you’ll gain three major tools from this book:
Catalyzing inquiry
Integrating improvisation,
and elevating intuition.
