Most of us, it is reckoned, would like to change something about ourselves, although all too often we feel that we can’t. What enables a violinist to become a policeman? What makes a monk fall in love? How does someone lose eighteen stone in as many months? How does an individual or a family adjust to tragedy? When can simply taking a new name usher in a new life?
Prize-winning broadcaster, director for the BBC, film-maker, and author of three books, the latest of which is Metamorphosis – how and why we change. Polly Morland unravels the mysteries and mechanisms of human change, showing that it is a process at which we are more skilled than we realise; and that, if we wish it, change is possible for us all.
