You Don t Have to Have a Dream

This is a new book. Condition: Brand New.

Charlie Mackesy meets Kurt Vonnegut, in the first non-fiction book from Tim Minchin- a beautifully idiosyncratic celebration of life, art, success, kindness, love and thriving in a meaningless universe, drawn from three iconic graduation speeches.

'Life will sometimes seem long and tough. And you will sometimes be happy and sometimes sad. And then you'll be old. And then you'll be dead. There is only one sensible thing to do with this empty existence, and that is- fill it.'

A book for the science-loving reality-romantic in all of us, You Don't Have to Have a Dream offers Tim Minchin's inimitable thoughts and advice on life, art, success, kindness, love, and thriving in a meaningless universe. Drawn from three of his iconic commencement addresses, and beautifully designed with specially commissioned illustrations throughout, it's a rallying cry for creativity, critical thinking, and compassion in our daily lives.

It's never too late to put something beautiful out into the world.
