Very Good Lives is a short book by J.K. Rowling that was originally published as a commencement speech at Harvard University in 2008. In the book, Rowling discusses the importance of failure and imagination, and how they can help us lead very good lives.

Rowling begins by talking about her own experiences with failure. She tells the story of how she was a single mother living on welfare when she wrote the first Harry Potter book. She was rejected by 12 different publishers before Bloomsbury finally agreed to publish it. Rowling says that her experience with failure taught her that it is important to keep trying, even when things seem hopeless. She also learned that failure can be a valuable learning experience that can help us grow and become stronger people.

Rowling then goes on to talk about the importance of imagination. She says that imagination is the “the most powerful tool we have” and that it can help us to overcome challenges, to create new things, and to make the world a better place. She encourages her readers to use their imaginations to dream big and to never give up on their dreams.

Very Good Lives is a short but inspiring book that offers valuable advice for anyone who is looking to lead a good life. Rowling’s words are honest, heartfelt, and often humorous. She is a gifted storyteller, and she uses her own experiences to illustrate the importance of failure and imagination. Very Good Lives is a book that will stay with you long after you finish reading it.

Very Good Lives is a book that I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for inspiration and motivation. It is a short, easy read, but it is packed with wisdom and insights that can help us to live better lives.
