William Leith, Spectator 'Fascinating, profound, wonderfully well-observed ... How We Are could change lives.' Bel Mooney, Daily Mail ''Are you living the life you want to lead' That was the question that Deary answered by changing his own life in order to write a book that could change yours.'

A book about human nature. It's crammed with ideas. It makes your head spin, in a good way -- William Leith * Spectator *
Fascinating, profound, wonderfully well-observed... [How We Are] could change lives -- Bel Mooney * Daily Mail *
An honest, self-searching voice, rich in images and characters' stories -- Antonia Macaro * Financial Times *
