William Collins, 2021

‘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 we’re 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 someone’s 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 lifetime’s 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 Mannix’s ‘With the End in Mind’ was a Sunday Times bestseller the weeks ending 6 January 2018, 13 January 2018 and 3 February 2018. In Listen, Kathryn Mannix, the Sunday Times bestselling author, delves into the heart of human relationships, grief, and bereavement. She provides a resolution to the conflict we often face when dealing with death, offering a self-help guide that is both a biography and an autobiography of her experiences in the medical field. For fans of Irvin D. Yalom (Becoming Myself), Wendy Mitchell (One Last Thing), Henry Marsh (And Finally), Clare Wise (Not That Kind of Love), and Mitch Albom (Tuesdays With Morrie).
