Dr Wood’s book “don’t wait … swim out to meet it” is delightful but don’t expect a lightweight read – this is designed around your taking action and believe me – some of it is hard work! Each new chapter entices you in with it’s watery metaphors and liquid quotes from famous thinkers ranging from Heraclitus (b. 535 B.C.E) through to the present day.
Heraclitus is famous for his doctrine of change being central to the universe, as stated in his famous saying, “You cannot step twice into the same river; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.”

Each chapter is focused on a specific topic with exercises and techniques to illustrate the topics. Chapter 4 is Entitled SOS! – not the nautical Save our Souls but Support our Strengths – SOS looks at playing to our strengths, understanding our individual learning styles and how to use these to help us get where we want to go.
It’s packed full of exercises to help us identify our strengths and learning styles. The one I particularly enjoyed was the Sense Preference quiz which helps to identify if you have a preference for taking in information in a visual, auditory or kinaesthetic style. Much to my surprise I found my answers were almost 100% visual – which is strange as I’ve never considered myself a visual person. I don’t have vivid dreams and have no visual imagination so things like guided meditation where you imagine walking through a landscape are difficult for me. Strange!
