InspirationalINSIGHTS

Ursula James, author of The Source: A Manual of Everyday Magic, tells S&S

about her most inspiring read...“I'm a voracious reader, so it's difficult to pick only two books

from the many I've enjoyed. However, The Tipping Point byMalcolm Gladwell (Little, Brown; £8.99) and The Colour of

Magic by Terry Pratchett (Discworld Series; £7.99) aredefinitely two of my favourites. Easy to read and extremelywell written, the first helped me understand the power of

social influence and focuses on how the behaviour of oneperson really can make a huge difference.

The Colour of Magic was a complete and utterrevelation to me. Ideal for times when you want to step

outside your world and spend time somewhere slightlymore magical, it's a wonderful book by a trulyamazing author.”
