He's invented a word. He says it's the word the world needs now. She's going to make him explain why.
Alastair Campbell has spent much of his career shaping, analysing and debating other people's words. This October, he takes to the stage to defend one of his own.
Persevilience: The Word the World Needs Now, Campbell's new book published by Atlantic, provides the starting point for a wide-ranging conversation with acclaimed broadcaster Mishal Husain.
As co-host of The Rest Is Politics podcast and Editor-at-Large of The New World, Campbell has been at the heart of British public life for more than three decades. Husain, one of the UK's most respected journalists and the host of The Mishal Husain Show podcast, is renowned for her incisive and thoughtful interviews.
Together, they explore the ideas behind Persevilience and Campbell's reflections on the challenges facing Britain and the wider world. The conversation also turns to the personal, as Campbell writes with characteristic candour about love, loss, friendship and resilience in the face of adversity.
Part memoir, part manifesto, and part call to action, Persevilience argues that the ability to persevere with resilience is more important than ever, both in our own lives and in shaping a better future for society.
