Book Review: Celia Hunt. Transformative Learning through Creative Life Writing: Exploring the Self in the Learning Process. London: Routledge, 2013. 197 pp. ISBN 9798-

People change, often in profound ways, when they engage in creative practices,
but understanding the nature of these changes and the reasons why they take
