With Breaking Open the Boxes garnering unanimous praise as a thought-provoking and immensely practical resource, business leaders, consultants, and creative thinkers alike are embracing the book’s ability to reveal new paths for leadership, decision-making, and personal growth.

With its remarkable explanation of the capacity to blend left- and right-brain thinking setting this book apart, readers are also appreciating the hands-on, practical tools provided by the authors, as well as being challenged to rethink ingrained assumptions.

Breaking Open the Boxes is a rare achievement: a book that combines intellectual rigor with engaging, actionable advice. From personal growth to strategic business decisions, Munro and Bolton’s fresh perspective invites readers to break free from old paradigms and lead with clarity and confidence.

Author Robert Bolton says:

“Our book isn’t just about the 100 quadrants, although they bring much insight, sometimes on quite controversial topics such as whistleblowing and leadership team cover-ups.

“The style is intentionally quite quirky and edgy. Providing the history to the quadrant and we also introduce the reader to what we term Grid Thinking. This is a way to tackle dilemmas beyond those in the book. Grid 101 draws on the groundbreaking research of Ian McGilchrist on ways of attending, and a way to recognise and integrate left and right brain patterns of thinking and deciding. Our grid thinking advice can apply to individuals as well as small groups wishing to tackle an issue.

“The book therefore has application in both the business and academic domains. Finally, I would say that it is chock full of great quotes from the likes of Bertrand Russell, Warren Buffett, Taylor Swift, Bruce Lee and Stephen Fry. Plus many more.”
