Confidently Lost: Finding Joy in the Chaos and Rediscovering What Matters Most in Life

Brace yourself for the book that flips self-help on its head and gives personal growth a much-needed shake-up. Renowned speaker and bestselling author, Gavin Oattes's latest release, Confidently Lost, is not your typical guide to happiness. Instead, it's an unfiltered, deeply human exploration of what it means to fall apart and rebuild yourself—messy, unpredictable, and gloriously real.

Born out of chaos and a "lifequake" moment that shattered his world in 2023, Confidently Lost offers a refreshingly honest take on navigating the aftermath of profound disruption. From unpacking the weight of grief to rediscovering joy in the smallest glimmers, Oattes delivers life lessons with humor, warmth, and the kind of raw vulnerability that feels like a friend grabbing you by the shoulders and saying, "You've got this."

But Confidently Lost isn't just about survival, it's about thriving. Oattes draws listeners into powerful reflections, challenging them to ditch perfection, embrace their inner anti-hero, and reclaim the magic of everyday moments. This isn't a book about having all the answers, it's about the courage to admit you're figuring it out as you go, and realizing that's more than enough.
