"So this our dilemma what do we do when advice is redundant and the goals are unworkable?"
Dear Friends,

During 'lockdown' I have finally got around to putting this long planned book down on paper. It's the sum of everything I have learned as a psychologist, adventurer, musician and writer. I wanted to make this book fun, challenging, provocative and available as soon as possible.   I believe How to Survive and Thrive in an Impossible World will be a 'How To' book like no other and a unique take on how one can resiliently and resourcefully respond to the challenges we all now face.

"I invite you to search again for the things you've forgotten. The skills, the stories, the motivations, the desires, the ambitions, stuff that fell by the wayside. And then dig deeper to the undiscovered things. The things you never knew about yourself that you can do and succeed at and flourish with. A lot of this book is about this path of liberation and how we move along it.".

How to Survive and Thrive in an Impossible World

pub Oct 1st, 2020 - Steve Bonham
​(Steve Carter) ​
​A world turned upside down! How do we flourish in times of enormous uncertainty and in a world in which a rising tide of anxiety and disaster seems to be in danger of overwhelming us? How do we grab the wheel of our lives and steer into calmer waters? The world we are moving into seems to be one on which the old rules do not apply or do not work.. So what are we going to do for ourselves if we are to flourish as individuals and leaders? ​ We won’t by following checklists and goal setting and the advice of armchair experts. Steve Bonham, award-winning psychologist, writer, adventurer, musician, and ‘vagabond philosopher’ weaves a spell of new research, story, and wry observation from a life on the road to provide a ‘liberation strategy’ towards a more fulfilling life.
“How to Survive …” is challenging, funny, radical, and unlike any other ‘How To’ book you have ever read!
The Vagabond Philosopher
I have had a curious life! As Steve Carter, I have been privileged to work as a consultant with great organisations and leaders all over the world. For a psychologist my life has been unusually adventurous. I was one of the last people to go through Checkpoint Charlie. I was nearly bombed out of my accommodation in Riyadh, I have led leadership development programmes in the Sahara Desert, in the Alps and the Atlas Mountains. I have been an organisation troubleshooter when the going has got really tough and was involved in the recovery of financial institutions following the 2008 Banking Crisis. I have written four management books inc. The Road To Audacity; Renaissance Management and Mentoring in a Week. As an adventurer I have travelled: from the top of the Atlas Mountains to the desert; dragged a toboggan over the frozen snows of Ontario, hiked through the steamy forests and mountains of Tennessee, Georgia and North Carolina. Writing and performing  as Steve Bonham I have recorded five albums, written two books: A Little Nostalgia for Freedom and A Beautiful Broken Dream and appeared at book and music festivals all over the UK. My songs make appearances in I- Tunes and other charts
