One Movie a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

Whether you’re a seasoned movie buff, searching for stories with a powerful message, or simply looking to dive a bit deeper than the typical Hollywood blockbuster, this book is for you. One Movie a Day Keeps the Doctor Away brings together 172 carefully curated films, each offering a unique perspective on how we love, how we make tough choices, and how we stumble only to get back up again. It’s what makes movies more than just movies. In less than two hours, they invite you to step into another life and (re)discover what truly matters, as well as things you once knew but may have forgotten. This book explores 52 featured films in greater detail, one for each week of the year, offering 52 ‘prescriptions’ to try out in your own life. On top of that, you’ll discover 120 additional recommendations to turn to in times of need, thoughtfully categorised by life’s big challenges. These 172 films are stories you’ll want to return to again and again, and all they ask of you is to press play. Think of them as wake-up calls, as reminders but not as rules, returning you to yourself and prompting you to slow down and see things in a new light. So grab some popcorn, press play, and let the movies do their work.
