How We Are by Vincent Deary
Explores the power of habit and the difficulty of change. A story told in three parts, this title gets right to the heart of what it means to be human: how we work, how we break, and how we mend.
This is a book that gets your mind whizzing off in lots of directions.. It's crammed with ideas. It makes your head spin, in a good way. -- William Leith * Spectator *
Exhilarating... a lyrical, consoling exploration... It takes guts to recognise that change is called for, and more to follow it through. This book - so long as you don't read it on autopilot - should help -- Oliver Burkeman * The Guardian *
Fascinating, profound, wonderfully well-observed... [How We Are] could change lives -- Bel Mooney * The Daily Mail *
The one self-help book that's actually worth reading * Spectator *
An honest, provisional, self-searching voice and a vision rich in images and characters' stories... A trilogy entitled How To Live might easily find itself stranded in the self-help sections of the bookshops. To open the first volume, however, is to realise that this would be an injustice and that any number of other shelves could claim it for themselves * Financial Times *
'Are you living the life you want to lead?' That was the question that one 40-year-old NHS psychotherapist answered by changing his own life in order to write a book that could change yours -- Carole Cadwalladr * Observer *
A guidebook for humans * The Journal *
