Lost & Found

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. According to a large and growing body of research, that might actually be a good thing.

Packed with psychological insights, practical tips and personal stories from Tim’s life, Lost and Found shows us the value of getting ‘lost’ to improve our resilience and mental health. By wandering outdoors in nature, or letting our minds do the wandering by sitting with negative thoughts or unpleasant emotions, we allow ourselves to become more authentic and vulnerable. By becoming lost, we find our true selves.
