Your Head Is a Houseboat

By: Campbell Walker

Narrated by: Campbell Walker

The only truth we really know is that we're going to spend the rest of our lives in our own houseboat (our head) so it makes sense to make that houseboat as good as possible. The houseboat needs cleaning and maintenance, and it shouldn't be weighed down by junk (our own thoughts and other people's opinions). It has an unreliable and overworked Sea Captain, and a zoo of animalistic desires below the deck who are really steering. But it's your houseboat, so it's probably time for you to cast away and set sail (is that even how houseboats work?) on a journey to understanding it.

In Your Head is a Houseboat, Walker demystifies brain functions, mental health, emotions, mindfulness and psychology – but with less complex terminology and more bizarre metaphors. It's an audiobook filled with journal exercises and words that will probably hit too close to home. At its core, this is a funny, accessible approach to understanding your head and making it a nicer place to live.

Critic reviews

'Campbell Walker's houseboat is the perfect vehicle to help you create a new relationship with the complex and often contradictory characters and places in your head. Not only do I expect you to thoroughly enjoy it, but I have no doubt the lessons you learn about human psychology and how to gain freedom from emotional struggles will be deep and lasting.' (Cassandra Dunn, Clinical Coaching Psychologist)

'The most important and accessible mental health book in a generation. Truly life-changing.' (Osher Günsberg, one of Australia’s most recognisable media personalities)

A Good Review of His Videos Along with New Stuff Too.

I am a huge fan of Struthless, and this is a deep dive into some of his best concepts. Cant wait for his next audiobook to drop.

Very creative way of explaining how we feel

I really appreciate the creativity and thought put into this book by Cambell. His wording is so clever and playful. I really enjoyed the comparison of our minds as a world of its own with characters and places out of our control. I this book and can’t wait to read his other books!!

Incredibly creative and helpful look into your mind!

Such an incredible self-help book! The author makes it easy and fun to understand and approach your many thoughts. Cam is so fun to listen to. He’s super insightful, seems like just a delightful person to cross paths with. I can’t recommend his YouTube channel or anything else he makes enough. I will be gifting this book to people!
