Powerful, humane and wise JULIA SAMUEL Everyone should read it NIGELLA LAWSON Beautiful This is a book for everyone. You feel held by it PHILIPPA PERRY Most of us have a conversation were avoiding. From the bestselling author of With the End in Mind, this is a book about the conversations that matter and how to have them better more honestly, more confidently and without regret. A child coming out to their parent. A family losing someone to terminal illness. A friend noticing the first signs of someones dementia. A careers advisor and a teenager with radically different perspectives. There are moments when we must talk, listen and be there for one another. Why do we so often come away from those times feeling like we could have done more, or should have been braver in the face of discomfort? Why do we skirt the conversations that might matter most? By bringing together stories with a lifetimes experience working in medicine and the newest psychology, Mannix offers lessons for how we can better speak our mind and help when others need to. Kathryn Mannixs With the End in Mind was a Sunday Times bestseller the weeks ending 6 January 2018, 13 January 2018 and 3 February 2018.
