<p><b>What kind of life do I really want to live?</b></p><p>'Essential' <i>Frieze</i></p><p>'Elegant, invigorating and beautiful' Amy Key</p><p>Akshi Singh was at a crossroads. She worked precarious jobs and drifted between flats and relationships in London, struggling to grieve and comprehend the loss of her brother years earlier.</p><p>Then she came across the twentieth-century psychoanalyst and thinker Marion Milner. Though their lives were so different, the questions and preoccupations Milner was exploring - about leisure, freedom and creativity - were Singh's own.</p><p>Milner asked the simple question: how do I want to spend my free time? By following Milner's footsteps - keeping a diary, painting, building a home and travelling to the sea - Singh discovers the importance of rest, creativity and play in all of our lives, and how it can open the door to achieving what we truly desire.</p><p><b>'Astounding, generous, and quietly exhilarating' Daisy LaFarge</b></p><p>'Luminous' <i>Times Literary Supplement</i></p><p>'Open-hearted' Marianne Brooker</p>
