Floating Home: Lessons from a life less ordinary, from the beloved narrowboat dweller, Adam Floating Home
Autor Adam Linden Limba Engleză Hardback – 25 sep 2025
'Adam's words are truly inspiring' Ben Fogle
'A beautiful book' Joe Sugg
After the devastating loss of his father, Adam Lind began asking the questions many of us avoid:
Can you choose to be happy? What does it mean to be free? How do you find real purpose?
His search led to a five-year journey - hitchhiking across twenty-six countries before building a new life on a narrowboat along Britain's waterways. In Floating Home, Lind blends travel memoir and personal growth to explore how to live with more freedom, meaning and happiness.
Through powerful stories and honest reflection, you'll discover how to:
- Let go of expectations and live life on your own terms
- Find purpose through connection, simplicity and adventure
- Build a calmer, more intentional and fulfilling life
From the kindness of strangers to the quiet rhythm of life on the water, this is a moving reminder that happiness isn't something you chase-it's something you create through how you live each day.

Recenzii
Adam's words are truly inspiring and important in today's world, he's a positive role model for young men
An invitation to slow down, feel deeply, and live a life full of love.
Honest, calming and deeply human. This book invites you to pause, pay attention and reconnect with what matters most. A gentle but grounded reflection on what it means to live well. Soulful, sincere, and full of quiet truths.
A beautiful exploration of what it means to heal, grow and live with meaning. Adam writes with a vulnerability that makes you pause, reflect and think about what truly matters to you.
A grounding invitation to live more fully, love more deeply and question what really matters.
A beautiful book and a refreshing reminder to slow down and savour life.
Packed with perspective and quiet wisdom. Floating Home will shift how you see the world and yourself.
Honest and tender
Adam Lind's book is written with a grace and rhythm every bit as gentle as the waterways he has made his home, but it is also shot through with a fiercely-held mission - that of enabling others to embark on the journey he has made in seeking an alternative life; away from ordinary society but part of another, hidden social world. It is a treasurehouse of wonders, from the interviews with fellow boat-dwellers to his beautiful descriptions of the nature he encounters. As one who was born and grew up on a houseboat on the Thames this love-letter to a way of life resonates utterly. Boat living attracts people from all sorts of backgrounds, rich, poor, artist and inventor. But they are united by one common impulse: the desire to occupy a place outside the stream of normal belonging, where one wakes not to the sound of car horns or refuse lorries but to the whisper of the river or canal, the song of the wind through the trees on the banks, the chatter of waterfowl. It is the perennial impulse that drives people to keep one foot firmly in nature, in a little bit of wilderness, as an antidote to the sometimes stifling effects of a suffocating modernity. And this deep quest is perfectly expressed in Floating Home.
