When he was diagnosed with terminal cancer and told he only had a few months to live, psychologist Nigel Latta – known for his three-decade career teaching resilience and navigating life’s ups and downs – had his own toolkit put to the ultimate test.

In his last book, Lessons on Living, Latta condenses a career worth of advice, guidance and life experience into simple principles for all that quickly became one of the year’s biggest-selling NZ books.

His widow Dr Natalie Flynn, grief expert Dr Lucy Hone and friend to whom Latta gave one of his final interviews, Guyon Espiner, come together to pay tribute and reflect on Latta’s remarkable life, contribution and the legacy he leaves behind.
