A book I couldn't wait to start, and then didn't want to end. Hugh's remarkable combination of deep understanding and honesty is to me what makes the book essential reading. His understanding is fed by a lifetime of careful listening and his honesty is blended with his characteristically warm humour. He has the ability to approach very deep issues with what I can only describe as a quintessentially Australian, and very human understanding of whatbitnis to live a full and good life. I bought the book after borrowing it from my local library, encouraged to begin reading his books by attending a conversation event where he discussed his latest book. Do read it you won't regret it.
