About the event
EVERY BRILLIANT THING
Every Brilliant Thing
by Duncan Macmillan with Jonny Donahoe
“Sam suggested that I talk to someone. Professionally. That made me so angry. I knew what depression was and I knew I was fine.”
You’re seven years old. Mum’s in hospital. Dad says she’s “done something stupid”. She finds it hard to be happy. You start a list of everything that’s brilliant about the world, everything worth living for – ice cream, water fights, staying up late to watch TV…
You leave it on her pillow. You know she’s read it because she’s corrected your spelling. As years go by, you grow up, go off to university and fall in love. Perhaps your list of every brilliant thing might even help you.
