Like all the best ideas, it's simple. A hundred famous people, from
Hollywood stars to sporting heroes, were asked [...] what they'd
say to the younger version of themselves. The answers make for
great reading. -- Book review * Sunday Mirror *
This collection is full of insightful stories that will make you
think about how you live your own life, and how you want to live it
in the future. And the best bit is that all the royalties from the
sale of the book will go to The Big Issue. -- Book of the month
