About this listen

 Bloomsbury presents Floating Home by Adam Lind, read by Adam Lind with Melanie Crawley and David Thorpe.

'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

I really liked how open Adam and his friends are with their stories and how they came to be living on their boats full time. A very insightful book that gives food for thought for those thinking about embarking on this way of life.
