How to Survive and Thrive in an Impossible World
Liberate your natural resilience
An Impossible World needs a new kind of survival guide.
We’re not short of challenges - uncertainty, burnout, disconnection, a rising tide of noise and anxiety. But what if the answer isn’t only in trying to fix the world, but in reimagining how we live in it?
In this revitalised edition of his much-loved book, psychologist, adventurer and vagabond philosopher Steve Bonham throws out the rulebook and offers something far more radical: a path to psychological rewilding, natural resilience, and a more liberated life.
Through story, insight and a few well-aimed sparks of mischief, Steve explores how we can thrive in chaos - not by trying to control it, but by learning to dance with it.
Alongside the original ideas such “Five Rules of the Road for liberated life”, the new book introduces fresh notions like the “Mindful Gap”, the “Mischief Zone”, the “Power of One” and the “Spirit of Abundance”., This is a book for anyone who suspects that the old ways no longer work - and is ready to step into something braver, kinder, and a little wilder.
