   It is really interesting to write a book and then learn how people are using it. Here's some things I've been learning lately about how my book Multisolving seems to be helping people: https://islandpress.org/books/multisolving#desc

     @bethsawin Hi. I am trying to buy the paperback at Island Press and that code does NOT work. Looking forward to reading it.

     If you are using the book, please let me know how - here or in a DM or whatever is easy. I am so curious!! And the book is on your "someday" list my publisher Island Press offers a generous 20% off with the code #MULTI

     Definitely not a vision I had, but I can see it. Since we are afloat in complexity all the time a little droplet of a story or a concept about well ...being afloat in complexity... could offer a moment to reflect or re-find one's center, or look at a situation or a problem in a new way.

     Someone who is handing out gift copies of the book to friends and colleagues tells people if the are too pressed for time to read the book from cover to cover to just open it every day to a random spot and read a paragraph. "I tell them it will definitely have relevance to their day..."

     A book group in the UK is meeting chapter by chapter and applying what they are reading to their own lives and work - I get to join them at the end of the journey and I'm so curious!

     A facilitator of groups (including many with people in deep uncertainty regarding job security, grant funding, projects & more) closes every meeting by reading this poem which opens the last chapter of the book. If it gives even a temporary boost of courage or clarity that makes me so happy! ❤️

     @bethsawin thx for the quick reply. the # sign gave an error. using MULTI did not yield any price reduction in the cart; i'll try again.
