The Book of Nuggets

"...contributions from hundreds of people in public life — many famous, others (like me) less so — all offering bite-sized lessons for life." — The Times

''Wisdom is sold in the desolate market where none come to buy,’ wrote William Blake. It is a rare, precious commodity. Difficult to come by. Hard to acquire.

The aim of The Book of Nuggets is to draw together in one place over 350 ‘Nuggets’ of wisdom which others have found important in their lives. Some of the contributors are well known, others less so, but all were generously offered by people from all walks of life. But regardless of the finders’ status or fame, these jewels have brought solace, succour and serenity along the way. The book’s compiler, Juliet Solomon, hopes they might do the same for you.

Juliet chose ‘Nuggets’ of wisdom as the theme of this collection in tribute to her late mother, Judith Solomon. Judith died of end-stage renal failure, and all proceeds from the sale of this book will go to increasing wider public awareness of kidney disease, and to raise much needed funds for research into the condition, its prevention and for the amelioration of the suffering of patients living with kidney disease, and their loved ones.
