Who better to help us articulate this sense of direction than the most articulate people among us? Writers and thinkers, Ben Hutchinson suggests in this sparkling new book, help us reflect on purpose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInterweaving his own (mis-)adventures with those of major authors such as T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf and R.M. Rilke, Hutchinson proposes ten ways in which reading and writing encourage us to ask difficult questions, project our minds into the past and future, and see ourselves and others differently. Engaging and aphoristic, this book is for anyone who finds themselves wondering how to live more mindfully, more forcefully - more fully.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Fourth Estate\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/19\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780008588465\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.25h x 4.63w x 0.44d","brand":"Ben Hutchinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43204900716725,"sku":"9780008588465","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_aa77102d-d8a3-4514-a7ac-3041aeaaeb71.jpg?v=1698126479","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/on-purpose-ten-lessons-on-the-meaning-of-life-9780008588465","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
