Summary

Dr Tim Sharp has been researching, writing and speaking about happiness for decades, as one of Australia's leaders of the positive psychology movement. But in recent years, he's realised that maybe he's been a bit more lost than he wanted to admit. And that might actually be a good thing. A large and growing body of research highlights the value of getting 'lost' to improve our resilience and our mental health. That could mean literally wandering outdoors in nature or letting our minds do the wandering by sitting with negative thoughts and unpleasant emotions, rather than constantly trying to fight or push them away. Packed with psychological insights, practical tips and personal stories from Tim's life, Lost and Found is a new kind of self-help book that invites all of you to the table- the bad and the good, your failures and your successes, challenges and breakthroughs. By sitting with discomfort, we allow ourselves to become more authentic and vulnerable and by becoming lost, we find our true selves.
