Description
Enlist the help of history’s great orators and discover speeches to guide, inspire and rouse ... whatever the occasion. These are speeches to live your life by.
Be inspired by the words of Roger Federer if you're afraid of failing, find wisdom from Brené Brown if you feel disconnected from others, and take comfort in the words of Albert Einstein if you need to own up to a mistake.
This curated collection of 100 thought-provoking speeches includes wise words by the world’s most inspirational philosophers, politicians and activists, and offers timeless advice for all of life’s challenges.
Meredith MacArdle brings together the speeches which have resonated throughout the course of history, from people whose gift was to know what to say, when to say it, and how to phrase it. Take wisdom from these powerful words from the most influential change-makers in history, from Galileo to Plato, Marie Curie and Martin Luther King Jr to Malala Yousafzai, Michelle Obama to Marcus Aurelius, Greta Thunberg and more.
Whether you’re in search of happiness or meaning, embracing a new chapter, facing loss or heartbreak, or simply pondering life’s bigger questions, their words offer hope and encouragement in the face of what might seem insurmountable, and will bring comfort when navigating life’s unsteady waters. The perfect gift for a graduation, starting a new job or just to show some love.
