The Book of Do: A Manual for Living compiles over fifty contributions from thinkers, makers, and practitioners into a single volume built around one proposition: that ideas are only as valuable as the action they generate.
About This Book
Edited by Miranda West, The Book of Do draws together more than fifty photographs, thirty illustrations, and hundreds of ideas spanning business, creativity, resilience, and wellbeing. It is not a self-help book in the conventional sense — it is a manual that takes the gap between intention and action seriously. Organised across ten sections, the book integrates recipes, diary entries, and curated lists alongside longer-form ideas, creating a varied rhythm that resists passive reading. For those who think carefully about how they work, create, and live, it functions as both provocation and practical resource.
