How Do You Live?: The inspiration for The Boy and the Heron, the major new Hayao Miyazaki/Studio Ghibli film

This is one of my favorite books of all time. this needs to be in every high school library and should be taught in school.

I've read the book completely and I always felt the human in me whenever I engaged with it. At times, it made my eyes wet with emotions. This book had led me to various places which has the potential to make me a whole human being. And, I'm going to gift this to my inner circles. If you ask me, everyone should this book, especially in these times where we highly require real-humans.

The hardcover edition is gorgeous and a steal deal for the price. But the story is okayish and the book delivers a simple message. Good for school kids.

Loved it

It's a simple book about a little boy living life and discovering things!. Just things we know said quiet thoughtfully. Was a feel good read in all honesty. Bought the hardcover version and I'm definitely pleased with the edition. Worth the buy👍. A very light evening read book!

Simply put, or rather honestly said, there is no other way to describe this book once you've read it. So read it. Because this is one of those books that's going to look, feel, reflect and retain differently for each person who reads it. In my own case, the way I read out the title of the book, "How Do You Live?" when I first glimpsed the cover of the book; and the manner in which the book had me thoughtfully whisper the words, "How Do You Live?" at the very end of it, were entirely alien to each other. It might start off as a story about a boy and his uncle; the boy's steps into the adult world guided by the uncle, who has the best aspirations for the man, that the child will grow up to become. Then you slowly realise that the boy isn't the only being guided here. He isn't the only one having his eyes opened to the things in life that once seemed so trivial. You've been learning alongside him and his adventures. I can't wait to watch this, once Hayao Miyazaki's magic has been worked on it!

Great book with beautiful message

Great font size and line spacing. Really beautiful cover art and book cover. Includes an introduction from Neil Gaiman. A must-read for adults and children alike. Definitely worth the price.
