{"product_id":"9780008588465","title":"On Purpose","description":"Ten brief essays on how reading and meaningfully engaging with literature can help us live better, more purposeful lives          From each of the ten essays emerges a simple, punchy maxim (‘Be the hero of your own life’; ‘Question authority’; ‘Change your mind’). Yet from these simple starting points wonderful, wise, and accessible essays unfold, taking the reader from Austen to Auden, Baudelaire to Brecht, to answer the question: what does literature teach us about what it means to be human? Ben Hutchinson extrapolates the universal truths that echo time and time again in literature, and offers a toolkit to his reader to reflect on and learn from the books they read and return to.","brand":"Ben Hutchinson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47856381788478,"sku":"9780008588465","price":402.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4357\/7662\/files\/9780008588465.jpg?v=1715038708","url":"https:\/\/exclusivebooks.co.za\/products\/9780008588465","provider":"Exclusive Books Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
