Critics Review
Ashton is persuasive … His well chosen examples reinforce the idea that there is no magic or myth to creation or discovery, making this an approachable, thought-provoking book that encourages everyone to be as good as they can be. * Observer *
An inspiring vision of creativity that’s littered with practical advice, and is a cracking read to boot. * BBC Focus *
Many of these anecdotes are rather lovely – a chapter on the credit denied female scientists is fascinating * Daily Telegraph *
