Meet an Author: Hugh Mackay

Come along for an engaging event with Hugh Mackay as he discusses the ideas behind Just Saying. Warm, witty and occasionally challenging, Just Saying includes Mackay’s personal reflections on twenty-five quotations from some of the world’s great thinkers and writers, both ancient and modern.

Through these bite-sized provocations, Mackay explores big themes that shape how we live together: kindness and humility, power and prejudice, gender equality and ethnic diversity, coping with change, and the choices we make when hurt or wronged.
