Author and creator of Zettelkasten for Fiction: Where Imagination Finds Order
“Turn the Page is the perfect introduction to making the best possible use of not only old books but any book you will ever pick up again. Consider this your preamble to a new relationship with the books you read. [...] This book is more than a doorway. It's more like a passageway opening before you and guiding you to a future of expanded perception and creativity.”
Author of Writing with Emotion: How to Inspire Your Readers and Get Them to Remember What You Write FOREVER
"Mel's book, Turn the Page, is a short yet impressively practical guide on how to achieve transformation by reading old books. Mel shows you how to create something extraordinary, in the eye of the beholder, out of the mundane and ordinary. It's about juxtaposing old and new assumptions, novel insights and enduring ideas and coupling them together with the three practices described therein, to create a life worth living. A life of transformation. Through freewriting, discursive meditation, and the Zettelkasten method, I was able, perhaps for the first time, to slow down and question the dominant narratives and mental models that I use to operate in the world. What I learned was that many of my so-called ideas were not in fact mine but products of hegemonic influence. So, I took Mel's advice and ventured in the past to shape my present."
