Southam Book Festival 2025 - talk by Ray Martin - Life Without a Tie

Ray Martin - Life Without a Tie

I will talk about a six-month sabbatical in 2005, that didn’t quite go according to plan. I unexpectedly ended up living out of a backpack for 14 years, and it totally changed my thinking about life. I’ll touch on some of the insight and wisdom that I gained during the journey, including:

• The biggest regret that everyone has when they die, and what impact that has on how we navigate life
• How you find your own true path in a world that is noisy, chaotic and in which there is huge pressure to conform
• The Universal intelligence that is guiding you all of the time, whether you are aware of it or not
• The six rules I discovered that when enacted, result in joy, happiness and inner peace
