Letter To My Younger Self: Inspiring People on the Lessons They’ve Learned, the Mistakes They’ve Made and the Relationships That Changed Their Lives

How many times have we wished to know something that we learned later on, through our own experiences and sometimes, even mistakes?

If you could write a letter to your younger self, what would it say?

More than 10 years ago, The Big Issue began asking people that and since then, some of the most brilliant and successful people from the worlds of entertainment, politics, food, sport and business have had their letters published in the magazine.

Letter to My Younger Self is a moving, inspiring and powerful insight into the wisdom that age brings and how you can use this knowledge to shape your future.

 

This collection features 100 of the most incredible letters including Paul McCartney writing on how he found inspiration, Olivia Colman on overcoming confidence problems, Jamie Oliver on trusting your instinct and many more, including Rod Stewart, Margaret Atwood, Buzz Aldrin, Tracey Emin, Michael Palin, Melanie C, Dionne Warwick and Ewan McGregor.

To get a little sneak peak at what this gem of a book contains, read through some of our favourite quotes by some of the most inspiring people.
