About the Book

'A beautiful book' Joe Sugg 'Honest and tender' Poppy Okotcha 'An invitation to slow down' TJ Power 'Soulful, sincere, and full of quiet truths' Joshua Fletcher Are you living with purpose? What makes you truly happy? Do you want to make a change in your life? After the devastating loss of his father, Adam Lind made a choice to pursue a life less ordinary: hitchhiking across twenty-six countries over the course of five years, meeting fascinating people along the way, and experiencing life-changing moments before taking to the waterways of the UK on his beloved (and temperamental) narrowboat, The Raman Rose. In Floating Home, Adam explores with wisdom and humour what his adventures have taught him - from the importance of human connection and community, to gaining control of the mind and achieving peace, to the transformative power of compassion. In doing so, he gently guides readers to think outside the norm and begin building a life on their own terms. 'Packed with perspective and quiet wisdom' Stuart Sandeman 'A grounding invitation to live more fully' Amy Wright

Review :
An invitation to slow down, feel deeply, and live a life full of love. Honest, calming and deeply human. This book invites you to pause, pay attention and reconnect with what matters most. A gentle but grounded reflection on what it means to live well. Soulful, sincere, and full of quiet truths. A beautiful exploration of what it means to heal, grow and live with meaning. Adam writes with a vulnerability that makes you pause, reflect and think about what truly matters to you. A grounding invitation to live more fully, love more deeply and question what really matters. A beautiful book and a refreshing reminder to slow down and savour life. Packed with perspective and quiet wisdom. Floating Home will shift how you see the world and yourself. Honest and tender Adam Lind's book is written with a grace and rhythm every bit as gentle as the waterways he has made his home, but it is also shot through with a fiercely-held mission - that of enabling others to embark on the journey he has made in seeking an alternative life; away from ordinary society but part of another, hidden social world. It is a treasurehouse of wonders, from the interviews with fellow boat-dwellers to his beautiful descriptions of the nature he encounters. As one who was born and grew up on a houseboat on the Thames this love-letter to a way of life resonates utterly. Boat living attracts people from all sorts of backgrounds, rich, poor, artist and inventor. But they are united by one common impulse: the desire to occupy a place outside the stream of normal belonging, where one wakes not to the sound of car horns or refuse lorries but to the whisper of the river or canal, the song of the wind through the trees on the banks, the chatter of waterfowl. It is the perennial impulse that drives people to keep one foot firmly in nature, in a little bit of wilderness, as an antidote to the sometimes stifling effects of a suffocating modernity. And this deep quest is perfectly expressed in Floating Home.
