Ten brief essays on how reading and meaningfully engaging with
literature can help us live better, more purposeful lives From each
of the ten essays emerges a simple, punchy maxim (‘Be the hero of
your own life’; ‘Question authority’; ‘Change your
mind’). Yet from these simple starting points wonderful, wise,
and accessible essays unfold, taking the reader from Austen to
Auden, Baudelaire to Brecht, to answer the question: what does
literature teach us about what it means to be human? Ben Hutchinson
extrapolates the universal truths that echo time and time again in
literature, and offers a toolkit to his reader to reflect on and
learn from the books they read and return to.
