It is a book that wants to explain things easily, like the time when we were kids. The author explains creativity and emotions and how to handle them. The images support the author's ideas and explain the concepts better.
Book allow you to fully explore a topic and immerse yourself in a deeper way than most media today. Mark Zuckerberg.

Nice review! This book is a lovely reminder of the power that imagination and wonder continuously yields, no matter how old you are. It also appears to hint at some themes/topics that arise in the subject of manifestation, particularly the strength in positive visualization.

Creativity is something that is sometimes forgotten when growing up. There are times that I feel stuck when I want to create something that I could see in my head but not so sure of how to go about it. There are days that I would love to look at life through my two young children's eye, and think this is a book I will enjoy if it brings back the childhood experience of creativity. Thank you for your review.

From thid field book,the author directs the reader about how we all feel our emotions and deal with them differently and the emotions we experience come from shared experiences and feelings. The author writes the title 'figments of persuasion' to link it with "figments"—imaginary creatures representing different emotions and states of mind.
