You've worked hard, achieved your goals, and followed the well-meaning advice. Yet that sense of deep fulfilment still feels just out of reach. But the problem was never you.

How to Be Happy distills that coaching experience into five core skills that build lasting well-being from the inside out, one intentional choice at a time.

    The Bad Day Playbook #author Gayle Smerdon

    THE BAD DAY PLAYBOOK: What to do when everything sucks Bad Days happen. The trick is not to pretend they don't, but to have a plan when they do. The Bad Day Playbook is your calm companion and usable game plan for those times when life flattens your spirit. It helps you notice when you're slipping into the spiral, take gentle control, and make small, meaningful shifts that bring you back to centre. Dr Gayle Smerdon shows how a little awareness and a few deliberate actions can change the shape of a s****y day. Once you've found your footing again, you can start to see bad days differently - as messengers, not mistakes. You don't have to be perfect. You just need a way through. This is your gentle guide for the days that suck, your reminder that you're still in charge of what happens next and that you are far more capable than you give yourself credit for.

    Thank You, Burnout #author Hayley Hughes

    Thank You, Burnout: From depletion to peace It’s possible the message in the wind, sky or the trees isn’t about fighting for a fairy tale. Maybe it’s about being receptive to finding the fairy tale in the most unexpected places. This book is about burnout—with a beautiful twist. Hayley Hughes pushed herself to depletion in the name of accomplishment and success. Her burnout felt eternal, deep, consuming. A full stop. But amid profound collapse, burnout also became a chance, an unexpected catalyst for becoming. Thank You, Burnout is an intimate walk through someone else’s woods. It winds the valleys and peaks of human emotion, through courage, self-determination and healing to reveal there’s much to gain from change. A collection of heartfelt journal entries, Hayley's powerful memoir is honest and personal, detailing an ordinary life that transformed into one of remarkable vibrancy and happiness. Thank You, Burnout explores darkness and light, offering a portrait of hope that ventures into the aches and joys of helping ourselves. With grace, Hayley’s story speaks to anyone who has felt the effects of burnout or the strange relief of finally having nothing left to give. An ode to presence and subtraction, Thank You, Burnout is a tale of coming to our own rescue and being the heroes of our own self-care stories. It inspires trust in intuition all the way to peace.

    The LineUp #author Nicholas Timms

    A killer on the loose. A surfer out of his depth ... Bo Curren was once a champion surfer. Now, at twenty-eight, he’s all washed up – unable even to set foot near the ocean. Instead, he spends his days alone in his apartment, drowning his sorrows in whiskey and watching surfers on his laptop via the 24-hour surf webcam. Then one day he sees something he shouldn’t. A camera trained on a deserted Byron Bay beach picks up a murder right there on the sand. The police dismiss his report, and no bodies are found. Yet Bo knows what he saw. And he has a clue: the murderer’s distinctive surfboard. If he can track that down, he’ll catch the killer. But is he ready to dive back into a world where the rules are unspoken, outsiders aren’t welcome, and where secrets can be as dangerous as the waves? Author Nicholas Timms ... a mystery writer and lifelong surfer. Raised in Byron Bay, he spent his teenage years competing in boardriders comps and honing his writing.

    Tight Lines #author Allee Richards

    I never meant to get so drunk. Each time it happened I swore it would be the last time and the next time I had a drink I believed that I could chug it down and it’d somehow end different … Luke, Josh and Matty live for the summer: surfing, fishing and drinking. When Millie joins their crew, life feels even sweeter. But, like the wild coast they call home, where the tide can change from safe to catastrophic in an instant, one decision irrevocably changes the lives of all involved. In their twenties, they try to recapture the freedom they took for granted when they were young. But they are not the same people and there is no going back. Set against the nostalgic backdrop of small-town coastal life in the 2000s, Tight Lines is a moving, transformational novel that explores the sometimes devastating consequences of our choices and how, with hope and friendship, we can keep on living anyway.
