You Don’t Have To Have A Dream By: Tim Minchin

Author: Tim Minchin

‘Here’s my idea of romance: You will soon be dead. Life will sometimes seem long and tough and, God, it’s tiring. And you will sometimes be happy and sometimes sad. And then you’ll be old. And then you’ll be dead. There is only one sensible thing to do with this empty existence, and that is: fill it.’

Tim Minchin has a reputation for writing a good speech, and has been asked to do so on several occasions. Drawn from three of Tim’s most beloved university commencement addresses, You Don’t Have to Have a Dream offers his inimitable thoughts and advice on life, art, success, kindness, love, and thriving in a meaningless universe.

Featuring specially commissioned illustrations throughout, You Don’t Have to Have a Dream is a rallying cry for creativity and compassion in our daily lives, and how it’s never too late to put something beautiful out into the world.
