Hugh Mackay, social researcher, columnist and novelist, is the author of 16 books, including most recently, The Good Life, a 2013 bestseller, and his sixth novel Infidelity. He is a Fellow of the Australian Psychological Society and the recipient of several honorary doctorates from Australian universities. Hugh lives with his wife in the Southern Highlands of New South Wales. Hugh’s new book, The Art of Belonging advances the argument put forward in his bestselling ‘The Good Life: a ‘good life’ is not lived in isolation or in the pursuit of independent goals; a good life is lived at the heart of a thriving community, among people we trust, and within an environment of mutual respect. The Art of Belonging is the book that will reignite the conversation about how we want to live; it will provide the framework for those who argue for a particular vision of community, one that sustains, protects and nurtures the many, and not just the few. a reVoluTion in THe makinG Guy Rundle RRP $19.99 The 3D printing revolution is upon us.
