Summary
Brought to you by Penguin.
‘Life will sometimes seem long and tough. 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.’
A book for the science-loving reality-romantic in all of us, You Don’t Have to Have a Dream offers Tim Minchin’s inimitable thoughts and advice on life, art, success, kindness, love, and thriving in a meaningless universe. Drawn from three of his iconic commencement addresses, it’s a rallying cry for creativity, critical thinking, and compassion in our daily lives.
It’s never too late to put something beautiful out into the world.

Beautiful writing, valuable ideas and gorgeous narration
so inspiring to hear Tim's unique and beautiful writing style of his valuable ideas in this gorgeous audiobook. I have the physical copy of the book too but to hear Tim's silky comforting voice narrating it was something special after having loved his music and his work since way back when in 2009... I will delve into this often for some clarity and self soothing advice for my solo musical project cassia later. thanks tim xx

Honesty, from the heart and brilliant!
Tim does it again with a 55 minute gem. It’s a masterpiece and a great summary of a life that has given so much pleasure and joy to me. Thank you!

a nice jaunt but short
I hoped this would be a longer delve into Tim's ideology and more practical advice but it's not long enough!

Tooo short! More like a mini podcast
Tooo short! More like a mini podcast. Not worth the cost, was expecting an actual book.

Where did it go?
I was so excited to hear a book by Tim Minchin voiced by him that I didn't even notice that it was only 56 minutes!! I listen on a slightly faster speed so finished it very quickly! it was okay but NOT worth paying that much for, it could have been a Youtube video for free, infact I bet you can find the full speeches he references.
