Author: Vincent Deary
Narrator: Matthew Brenher
The first book in a major new trilogy – one that will help listeners everywhere live fuller, more satisfying lives. We live in small worlds. How We Are is an astonishing debut and the first part of the monumental How to Live trilogy, a profound and ambitious work that gets to the heart of what it means to be human: how we are, how we break, and how we mend. This first audiobook explores the power of habit and the difficulty of change. We live most of our lives automatically, in small worlds of comfortable routine – what author Vincent Deary calls Act One. Conscious change requires deliberate effort, so for the most part we avoid it. But inevitably, from within or without, something comes along to disturb our small worlds – some "news from elsewhere".
