Description: In 2008, Rowling delivered a commencement speech at Harvard University. Now published for the first time in book form, Very Good Lives presents J.K. Rowling's words of wisdom for anyone at a turning point. How can we embrace failure? And how can we use our imagination to better both ourselves and others? Drawing from stories of her own post-graduate years, the world-famous author addresses some of life's most important questions.

Review Quotes: "Humble and moving, full of ideals one hopes the world's most privileged young people will take to heart."--Ron Charles, Washington Post
