Hugh Mackay has been described as ‘the man who explains us to ourselves’. He is a social psychologist par excellence and the bestselling author of twenty-five books, including The Way We Are and The Kindness Revolution, both of which he came to Maleny to speak about previously. He had a sixty-year career in social research and was for thirty years a weekly newspaper columnist.Tickets: https://www.trybooking.com/events/landing/1447483
In recognition of his pioneering work, he has been awarded honorary doctorates by five Australian universities. In 2016 he was appointed an Officer of the Order of Australia.
His new book, Just Saying, contains a series of highly personal reflections on twenty-five quotations from some of the world’s greatest thinkers and writers, from Confucius and Plato to Susan Sontag and Miles Franklin; from Samuel Johnson and Mary Wollstonecraft to Bertrand Russell and Gloria Steinem.
Interpreting our world and inspiring us to do better, Mackay explores themes ranging from kindness and humility to power and prejudice; from gender equality to ethnic diversity; from coping with change to the damage inflicted on ourselves by revenge, and the great gulf between propriety and virtue.
