Very Good Lives: The Fringe Benefits of Failure and the Importance of Imagination

📗 In 2008, J.K.Rowling delivered a deeply affecting commencement speech at Harvard University. Now published for the first time in book form, Very Good Lives offers J.K.Rowling's words of wisdom for anyone at a turning point in life, asking the profound and provocative questions: How can we embrace failure? And how can we use our imagination to better both ourselves and others?
Drawing from stories of her own post-graduate years, the world-famous author addresses some of life's most important issues with acuity and emotional force.
Sales of Very Good Lives will benefit Lumos, a charity organisation founded by J.K.Rowling, which works to transform the lives of disadvantaged children, and university-wide financial aid at Harvard University.
