In Search of Calm Down Under: Travels to help the mid-life slump

By Nicholas Lyes

Fast approaching 40 years of age, otherwise happily married Nick began to suffer with anxiety, panic attacks and general malaise. Trying to seize back the joy of life, he and his husband decide to take time out of their careers to travel to the other side of the world to expand their horizons. For Nick, this was also about finding new ways to fight his anxiety and expand his comfort zone circle. In this very personal book, follow Nick as he shares their experiences in Australia and Indonesia. From soft white beaches to red deserts, from street artists to coral reefs and from outback bars to city karaoke jaunts, can middle aged backpacking and rediscovering your inner child be the key to better well-being? This book explores how doing the things often associated with the early-twenties in your forties might improve your health, relationships, and view on life.
