About this listen

Leonard and Hungry Paul is the story of two friends who ordinarily would remain uncelebrated. It finds a value and specialness in them that is not immediately apparent and prompts the idea that maybe we could learn from the people that we overlook in life.

Leonard and Hungry Paul change the world differently to the rest of us: we try to change it by effort and force; they change it by discovering the small things they can do well and offering them to others.

A simple but truly wonderful tale about the importance of being yourself, embracing your difference, friendship, power of silence and being in the moment, being open to unassuming people, listening, knowing what matters, seizing the moment and trusting that the future will look after itself ... and amazing one liners. It was a joy and privilege to spend time with Leonard and hungry Paul. A perfect contrast to these harsh and complicated times.

A book about friendship kindness and dare I say some of the finer attributes of maleness. Some beautiful moments and easy to read/listen to.
A good Antidote to politics/ Covid and some of the harsher realities of life, where characters inner lives are sensitively unwoven to us.
May be a little naive and a little sentimental at times but the world needs this I feel.

Charming sensitive and loving
