We are creatures of habit, and we live in small worlds. But what happens when change disrupts our lives? This book, the first in a trilogy, offers profound insight into the human mind and heart- how we are, how we break, how we mend.

Reviews for How We Are

An honest, self-searching voice, rich in images and characters' stories -- Antonia Macaro * Financial Times * Fascinating, profound, wonderfully well-observed... [How We Are] could change lives -- Bel Mooney * Daily Mail * A book about human nature. It's crammed with ideas. It makes your head spin, in a good way -- William Leith * Spectator * Exhilarating, lyrical, consoling... His voice is pleasingly sardonic one of a peer who finds this stuff as difficult and disorientating as the rest of us -- Oliver Burkeman * Guardian *
