The Conscious Style Guide by Karen Yin

5.0

As an author, I can say that Karen Yin‘s The Conscious Style Guide is going to be a book I will reread for a very long time. I know that languages evolve and by extension style guides needs to be updated to keep up but I truly believe that Yin‘s guide is going to age incredibly well. The reason being that the Yin doesn‘t tell the reader what to say or what not to say, instead she explains the methodology, reasoning, and logic behind conscious language in a contextualized way that will guide the reader to bring conscious language into their everyday life. 

The book itself admits that it‘s not the ultimate resource on the topic (which would be a very bold and frankly unrealistic claim) that‘s why the author presents to the reader multiple resources for further research that, by the virtue of being online resources, can be updated. I really appreciated this aspect of the book and found myself lost in all the valuable resources I wasn‘t aware of previously. 

Though I‘m looking forward to integrating everything I‘ve learned from this book in my own writing, I‘m also certain that it will have an impact on how I view language in my daily life. That‘s why I highly recommend Karen Yin‘s The Conscious Style Guide to both writers and non-writers.
