Doom and Bloom

By: Campbell Walker

Narrated by: Campbell Walker

Doom is the feeling when everything seems hopeless and hard, and you want to give up. Bloom, on the other hand, is a state of effortless creativity, where solutions surprise you as they flow into reality. Bloom is our highest and most natural state of being, but how do we reach it when the world feels so dark and heavy? In Doom and Bloom bestselling author and YouTube sensation Campbell Walker (aka Struthless) offers us a roadmap.

​Blending modern research with ancient philosophy, Walker's witty sense of humour, searing intelligence and intense vulnerability will make you laugh, cry and pull you from the depths of darkness.

Creativity is like a garden – you have to start from the ground and work your way up. In Doom and Bloom Walker teaches us how getting down in the dirt can lead to a blossoming life.

Critic reviews

'A perfect guide to rediscovering the courage and creativity we're all born with.' (Osher Günsberg, one of Australia’s most recognisable media personalities)

Solid Man with Solid Advice

I found it easy listening with great advice. Journaling as compost for thoughts is the answer!

Wonderful information and insight.

I love the way he presents information and the stories he uses to make his points.

Once again, Cam makes me cry for the 100th time- “a triumph.”

Just finished listening to this book and started weeping at the acknowledgments. It’s so special to me as an artist that’s been following the author’s career for the last 10 or so years. I own his first book “Your head is a houseboat” and after listening and laughing along to this one, I need to order a copy to keep. Initially I imagined listening to a book by one of my favorite illustrators, might be frustrating without getting to see the pictures; but Cam’s performance of his own words drives them home maybe more than my inner monologue would have. The relatable stories and journey through this delightful metaphor, made me laugh, cry and miss my own friend I lost to suicide. It’s a beautiful book, and a remarkable roadmap to self discovery.
