This book is beautiful in more than just one way. The outside, of course, as well as underneath the dusk jacket, the whole layout of the book and all the illustrations. But, and more important, the words J. K. Rowling gives to us to accompany us on our way. She emphasizes that we are the only person to decide what's a good life, what's success for us, that only we can change something and that only we are responsible for being a good and empathic person. She points out the importance of empathy, failure and imagination and also tells us a little about her life. Nice to read, nice to look at. Funny and wise at the same time.
