Description
What if the life you’re chasing isn’t the one you actually want?
Adam’s words are truly inspiring Ben Fogle
A beautiful book Joe Sugg
After the devastating loss of his father, Adam Lind began asking the questions many of us avoid: Can you choose to be happy? What does it mean to be free? How do you find real purpose?
His search led to a five-year journey - hitchhiking across twenty-six countries before building a new life on a narrowboat along Britain’s waterways. In Floating Home, Lind blends travel memoir and personal growth to explore how to live with more freedom, meaning and happiness.
Through powerful stories and honest reflection, you’ll discover how to:
- Let go of expectations and live life on your own terms
- Find purpose through connection, simplicity and adventure
- Build a calmer, more intentional and fulfilling life
From the kindness of strangers to the quiet rhythm of life on the water, this is a moving reminder that happiness isn’t something you chase—it’s something you create through how you live each day.
