About this listen
From Australia’s Dr Happy, this is a guidebook to the power of becoming a bit more lost – to getting out of our own heads and going off the beaten track.
Dr Tim Sharp has been researching, writing and speaking about happiness for decades, as one of Australia’s leaders of the positive psychology movement. But in recent years, he’s realised that maybe he’s been a bit more lost than he wanted to admit. And that might actually be a good thing.
A large and growing body of research highlights the value of getting ‘lost’ to improve our resilience and our mental health. That could mean literally wandering outdoors in nature or letting our minds do the wandering by sitting with negative thoughts and unpleasant emotions, rather than constantly trying to fight or push them away.
Packed with psychological insights, practical tips and personal stories from Tim’s life, Lost & Found is a new kind of self-help book that invites all of you to the table: the bad and the good, your failures and your successes, challenges and breakthroughs. By sitting with discomfort, we allow ourselves to become more authentic and vulnerable – and by becoming lost, we find our true selves.
Dr Tim Sharp is Australia's very own 'Dr Happy', at the forefront of the positive psychology movement and founder of the Happiness Institute. He has run one of Sydney's most respected clinical psychology practices, a highly regarded executive coaching practice, has taught at most of the major universities in Australia and is currently Adjunct Professor at both UTS and RMIT.
He is also the bestselling author of a number of books, including The Good Sleep Guide, The Happiness Handbook, 100 Ways to Happiness and 100 Ways to Happy Children, and the popular Habits for Happiness audiobook series with Audible. He regularly appears on Australian TV, featuring on Today, The Morning Show, Studio 10, The Project and many other programs.

Dr Tim Sharp narrates his story authentically with wise words of encouragement when one feels vulnerable. His story telling is very engaging and when you are feeling in need of encouragement, this is a great book to listen to or read. Well done Dr Happy. I enjoy your sincerity and guidance in helping others.

Evidence-Based, Practical, Intelligent & “doable” Advice
Dr Sharp is Australia’s national treasure. His advice is evidence & experience-based and very accessible for diverse individuals. As a corporate coach I have learnt a lot to both help my clients live better lives - and myself & my family life have also benefitted immensely from this book. Dr Sharp is open, pragmatic, positive without being “sickly” with that positivity (or, as he calls it, Toxic Positivity) THANK YOU, Dr Sharp!!

Well spoken, well said. A thoughtful memoir & research review about the power of not knowing - in being lost and becoming found.
Loved it. Great narration, by the man himself, with nothing but humility and wonder as he walks us up and down often treacherous paths of self discovery. He encourages us to not fret, and to embrace 'losing it' or becoming lost as a chance for reconnection to, and recalibration of oneself. Tim Sharp guides the reader through narratives of his own life lessons, explaining that most all things, perceivably good, bad, or otherwise, can be opportunities for growth. I can't wait to read more.

excellent resource for finding your way
Dr Tim is a great communicator and easily shows us how to wander through our lives without harsh judgement or negatively. in fact he is a proponent of Positive Psychology and I found that really interesting considering the traditional model of therapy has a different pedagogy.

If you only read one self help book in your life - read this!
This is a very useful guide to help you think about your life and navigate your way through it.
Dr Sharp divides the topics in a well thought out manner, and his personal experiences, retold throughout the book, gives it real power!

Accessible and valuable
This book was not what I was expecting but totally what I needed! As a mid-lifer I have achieved some of the signposts thinking that Dr Tim describes but others I’ve been inspired to adopt in the second half of my life. Also wonderful to have these tips and information to share with our children and friends…thanks Tim, that was awesome!
