When I first started exploring the principles behind clarity, I heard a simple suggestion which shocked me to my core, and flew in the face of the culture of personal development I’d been immersed in for many years. I found myself issued with a challenge and tantalised with a solution, all in the same sentence. The suggestion came from the philosopher Sydney Banks, who said “Be ordinary”.
