In On Reflection Richard Holloway thinks back on some of the questions that have shaped his life, sharing the wisdom of poets, writers, musicians and artists he has encountered along the way.

How can we forgive? Where does creativity come from? How can we face loss and death? How can we live a good life? How do we find beauty in the world and heal divisions? How does a society move forward? In beautiful prose, and with care and joy, Richard Holloway offers his reflections on how a good life is one inspired by love and guided by knowledge.
