BOOK REVIEW: Wild Creature Mind by Steve Biddulph Publisher: Bluebird; Main Market edition (12 Sept. 2024)
Weaving together Ian McGilchrist’s take on neuroscience and Focusing, I found this to be an excellent book and one I have recommended over and over again.
The author has a deep appreciating for focusing and explicates it well, perhaps especially for newcomers. Here’s an excerpt: “Tell it both ‘welcome’ and ‘thank you’. Soften around it to give it room. Try out a word or two to describe it. This word or two will never be quite right on first go. Try a better word, and listen to see if your felt sense says, ‘Yes.’ And then, in the way that we sometimes have to just abandon control in order for anything magical to happen – to dance, to make love with abandon, to laugh, to play great music – you just let what comes come.“
