About this episode

Richard Herring talks to Tim Minchin about his book 'You Don’t Have To Have A Dream' and the complexities of success and personal fulfillment.

RHLSTP Book Club #192 - You Don’t Have To Have A Dream - Richard talks to the first ever RHLSTP guest, Tim Minchin, about his book “You Don’t Have To Have A Dream”. They chat about the possible futility of having to spread wisdom to the young, how success will never be what you imagine it to be and how it won’t fill the hole in your soul, why comparing yourself to others is poison, how fortunate we are to live now, how Tim’s Hollywood adventures helped him to recalibrate his career and whether it’s ever too late to do stuff.
