Description

We explore the power of habit and the difficulty of change in this profound debut. The first book in the How To Live trilogy, it delves into what it means to be human: how we work, how we break, and how we mend. A story told in three parts, Vincent Deary examines our lives in small worlds of routine - Act One - where conscious change requires deliberate effort. However, when something disrupts these routines - News From Elsewhere - we begin the process of adjustment, moving into Act Two. Drawing on his own experience and a wide range of literary, philosophical, and cultural sources, Deary offers a universal portrait of the human condition. As part psychologist, philosopher, and novelist, Deary helps us resist being mere habit machines and take control of our lives.
