Let your non-dominant hand work for you!, 2008-11-20
I love this book! Even doing doodles with my non-dominant hand has unlocked inspiration for me. I am a singer, and anything that gets my creative juices flowing is worth it's weight in gold to me, and this book did it in spades. What a powerful tool, right under our noses (or at the end of our arm, as the case may be! )

An amazing concept!, 2008-02-21
I'm not sure how I came across this book, but non-dominant hand writing is an astounding technique. If you get only one thing out of this book, it's the reliable truth you can get from yourself when you are looking for answers. My own left hand seems to be me at about the age of six, about the time I had to start really following rules not of my own making. She's nothing like the case studies in the book - there's no fight between my conscious and my subconscious, just a relief that there's an outlet. (My left hand actually helped me find a camera I thought I'd lost, so there are plenty of practical things the left hand can tell you as well!)

My left handed writing sessions which I do a couple times a week have given me amazing clarity about the things I want, my priorities, how to handle tricky situations well, and how I really feel about things. Right hand tells me what I think. Left hand tells me how I feel. I am grateful to the writer for this book.

Lending a Hand, 2007-01-22
This book mixes theoretical discussion of brain hemisphere function with prescription of practical exercises designed to reawaken the neural circuitry associated with the non-dominant hand. The writer, a qualified psychologist who uses a form of art therapy, draws on her knowledge of Sperry, Jung and Transactional Analysis in positing a theory that exercising the less used hand can lead to the rediscovery or re-emergence of long forgotten aspects of personality and unrealised talents. She cites personal experience and the experience of clients/patients who have engaged with her in a therapeutic relationship. The book is very interesting and ought to be taken seriously, even though the theory would have to be regarded as speculative at this point of time.

Simply put, a good book, 2003-02-22
I picked up this book while going through a phase. I was trying to tap into my more artistic side which had been easy for me up until about three years ago, with real world concerns pressing in and working at a job that didn't spark my creativity I found it harder and harder to distinguish what I really wanted to do compared to what I thought I should do. This book I was hoping would help-and it did. It has many, many exercises to help you get more in touch with your more spontaneous, child like side. Many of these exercises were uncomfortable for me at first for me because they involved giving up the control I held so rigidly to.In fact I found it very hard because giving up control would mean I would have to trust in myself. I didn't know how to flow anymore and this book is all about flow. Some of the exercises involve drawing pictures with your non-dominant hand and others involve getting in touch with different parts of yourself you might have left behind for some reason or another. I find Lucia Cappachione an author who's style is very warm and the personal stories she tells in the book set her apart from self help guru's who just preach and preach and give nothing of themselve's in turn. This book is never boring and is like a kid's activity book for adults.
