Mona Chalabi: How What We Have Shapes Who We Are

The award-winning writer talks about her first book, a real account of the ways in which wealth – or the lack of it – shapes our lives. For her first book, Ten Lives: How What We Have Shapes Who We Are, the award-winning writer and illustrator followed the lives of ten individuals for five years, documenting how income shaped their feelings, choices, identities and insecurities. Showcasing her renowned data visualisations, humour and disarming candour, Chalabi takes to the Queen Elizabeth Hall stage for the first time to reveal her findings.
