‘The most important and accessible mental health book in a generation. Truly life-changing.’ – Osher Günsberg
Your Head is a Houseboat is a uniquely hilarious guide to what goes on in your brain, from illustration sensation Campbell Walker aka Struthless.
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, Cam demystifies brain functions, mental health, emotions, mindfulness and psychology – but with less complex terminology and more bizarre metaphors. It’s a book filled with illustrations, 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.

I follow struthless’ Youtube so this was a no-brainer on my wishlist, so glad i now own it. He thinks in a similar way to me so that really helps line my mental ducks (and sock puppets) up in a row so to speak. Check out his YouTube channel if you like it you’ll want this on your bookshelf or with you wherever you journal or meditate. Enjoy!

I have read so many self-help books over the years, trying to find the answer to all the noise in my head, but none of them compare to this hilarious, beautifully illustrated masterpiece. I loved every single word and picture. I am no longer afraid to look inside. The journaling instructions are clear and simple. I love every single metaphor. So grateful to have read this book and I definitely recommend it to anyone who is too afraid to look explore their “houseboat”.

This book and its unique format takes you on a journey of self discovery. It beautifully allegorises the inner workings of a busy chaotic mind. Accompanied by exercises that guide you towards mental clarity. An incredible investment, looking forward to coming back to it, any time life gets too out of hand.
