Floating Home by Adam Lind

After the devastating loss of his father, Adam Lind began asking the questions many of us avoid: Can you will yourself to be happy? Is there a formula for contentment? What does it mean to be free? His quest took him on a five-year adventure – hitchhiking across twenty-six countries before finding a new kind of home on a narrowboat along Britain’s waterways – embracing risk, making mistakes, uncovering hard truths and discovering what freedom truly meant to him.

In this honest, humble and unexpectedly moving book, you’ll discover what it means to live fully. From the kindness of strangers on far-flung roads to the warmth of community along the canals, Lind shows that happiness isn’t something we chase – it’s cultivated through connection, curiosity and the courage to embrace life as it comes.

Full of intimate stories, practical reflections, and quiet moments of wonder, Floating Home is for anyone seeking joy, meaning, and a little more freedom – both in the world and within themselves.
