About this listen
‘Powerful, humane and wise’ JULIA SAMUEL
‘Everyone should read it’ NIGELLA LAWSON
‘Beautiful … This is a book for everyone. You feel held by it’ PHILIPPA PERRY
Most of us have a conversation we’re avoiding.
From the bestselling author of With the End in Mind, this is a book about the conversations that matter and how to have them better – more honestly, more confidently and without regret.
A child coming out to their parent. A family losing someone to terminal illness. A friend noticing the first signs of someone’s dementia. A careers advisor and a teenager with radically different perspectives.
There are moments when we must talk, listen and be there for one another. Why do we so often come away from those times feeling like we could have done more, or should have been braver in the face of discomfort? Why do we skirt the conversations that might matter most?
By bringing together stories with a lifetime’s experience working in medicine and the newest psychology, Mannix offers lessons for how we can better speak our mind and help when others need to.
Kathryn Mannix’s ‘With the End in Mind’ was a Sunday Times bestseller the weeks ending 6 January 2018, 13 January 2018 and 3 February 2018.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

‘Kathryn Mannix is our modern-day prophet … This is an essential book for anyone interested in themselves and their fellow humans’
Greg Wise
‘I adore Kathryn's writing. Always sensitive, always thoughtful, an essential read for those looking to connect’
Cariad Lloyd
‘Kathryn Mannix is a natural born storyteller, and there is so much wisdom, tenderness and love packed into this profoundly beautiful book … Her words brim with grace. I loved this book so very much.’
Rachel Clarke
‘The book’s greatest strength is not just the information it shares, but the pure humanity it shows; the halting, fearful, imperfect conversations between people who are all doing their best and sometimes not getting it right. The gems of wisdom apply to all situations, whether someone is at the end of their life or has had a bad day at work … Compassionate, warm and wise’
The Times
‘Like having a long and rewarding conversation with a really good friend … Perhaps the most important component in all of the chapters, however, is the telling of stories … As with Mannix’s first book, there are many moving tales within these pages … Wise, gentle and profound’
Joanna Cannon, The Guardian, Book of the Day

The understanding that is so much deeper and richer than scratching the surface. Yet it is just that it is a begining for everyone, as suits their recap and starting point.
There are beautifully crafted expressions that lift the words off the pages. As if their arrival with the ear is coordinated, like birds in flight together, each arriving momentarily delayed from one another, but appropriately so.
This builds the learning, appreciation and resonance with the wisdom released.
An infusion of many years and peoples, struggles, gifts, experiences, where each is a lifetimes work... beautifully and humbly united one with another.
If ever the expression that something is greater than the sum of the parts is true, it is of this.
A must read, that awakens our need for tenderness that restores our response to be more human with one another.
The learning continues...
Listening, just became a little easier.
