Harvard professor, Steven Pinker, justifiably claims that academic writing is “horrific.“ And in all of her works, Helen sword helps to solve this horrible problem. This particular book is one of the best and most important books on academic writing and writing in general. It does not present platitudes and abstract advice. Rather, based on innovative research, it gives writers clear and actionable advice that they can readily use to improve their writing.

Why do some people lead happy, successful lives whilst others face repeated failure and sadness? Why do some find their perfect partners whilst others stagger from one broken relationship to the next? What enables some people to have successful careers whilst others find themselves trapped in jobs they detest? And can unlucky people do anything to improve their luck - and lives?
