J.K. Rowling, one of the world's most inspiring writers, shares her wisdom and advice.
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 presents J.K. Rowling's words of wisdom for anyone at a turning point in life. 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 questions with acuity and emotional force.
Sales of VERY GOOD LIVES will benefit both Lumos, a non-profit international organization founded by J.K. Rowling, which works to end the institutionalization of children around the world, and university-wide financial aid at Harvard University.

Alıntılar

  • Nathanielalıntı yaptı4 yıl önce
    Reflecting on her speech has

    helped me enormously in writing this one,

    because it turns out that I can’t remember

    a single word she said. This liberating

    discovery enables me to proceed without

    any fear that I might inadvertently

    influence you to abandon promising

    careers in business, the law, or politics

    for the giddy delights of becoming a

    gay wizard.

    So given a Time-Turner, I would
    tell my twenty-one-year-old self
    that personal happiness lies in
    knowing that life is not a checklist
    of acquisition or achievement.

    You will never truly
    know yourself, or the strength of
    your relationships, until both have
    been tested by adversity.
