Suggestions for reading
Our students sometimes ask us to recommend additional reading. Here’s an optional list if you’re interested in doing further reading. However, it is worth noting that while good reading undoubtedly supports our growth, wisdom in the end comes from applying it in practice. If you attend the course your tutor will be happy to advise further.
