In Iceland, when you need to think deeply about something, they say you should lay your head in water. 

I wanted to find a better way to live. I was ground down by endless meetings and office work. I felt like my life was ebbing away in front of me. So one day, I just threw it all up in the air. I quit my job and spent a year doing something that I loved: I decided to go swimming around Scandinavia. 

The plan was simple: one swim, once a week, wherever I happened to be. In a fjord in Norway, in a city in Sweden, on an island in the Arctic. Wherever I was, I’d stick to the plan, come hell and high water. It couldn’t be worse than drowning in emails, could it?

The Year I Lay My Head In Water is about that year and where it took me.

‘This book is a wonderful call to reflect, slow down, challenge yourself and live a life of intention’ – Mark Agnew, author of There Will Be Headwinds
