How can we forgive? Where does creativity come from? How can we face loss and death? How can we live a good life? How do we find beauty in the world and heal divisions?How does a society move forward? In beautiful prose, and with care and joy, Richard Holloway offers his reflections on how a good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.
