Summary

Brought to you by Penguin.

‘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, 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.

a nice jaunt but short

I hoped this would be a longer delve into Tim's ideology and more practical advice but it's not long enough!

Tooo short! More like a mini podcast

Tooo short! More like a mini podcast. Not worth the cost, was expecting an actual book.
