Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

My Icon Library is an essential collection of impactful images that will empower you to embark on your own journey of visual thinking and storytelling. The collection consists of the most common, interesting, weird, and wonderful concepts created during the author's visual thinking workshops.

The concepts are grouped into categories that regularly crop up at the workshops: 'finance', 'technology', 'innovation', 'agile', and 'sales', as well as broader themes such as 'team dynamics', 'way-of-working', 'politics', and 'the world we live in'. This is not a definitive list; every story is different and has its own blend of icons and visuals.

My Icon Library is a source of inspiration and a go-to reference for whenever you need a visual that's a tad too complicated for your imagination or a Google Images search. It also works as a great companion to the author's other bestselling books: Visual Thinking and Visual Doing.
