What The Duck Am I Doing With My Life?

Feeling Lost, Stuck, or Like a Walking Disaster? A Funny Self-Help Guide to Finding Direction, Purpose, and Yourself

When you cannot remember which way is up.

About the book

The most asked question of your thirties (and your forties, and possibly your fifties).

You did the things you were supposed to do. The degree. The job. The relationship. The savings account. The trip. The other job. And then one Tuesday at 3pm you sat in your car in the carpark of a Coles and thought, hang on, is this it?

What the Duck am I doing with my Life? is the funny self-help guide for people who are not in crisis but are not, strictly speaking, fine either. The “I’m allegedly an adult and I have no idea what I’m doing” book.

What’s inside: a working definition of feeling stuck. Why your five-year plan is fiction. The Permission Slip you have been waiting for and were never going to receive from anyone else. The difference between a rut and a chapter break. And the very specific reassurance that comes from a man who has had nine jobs, lived in four countries, and once made a major life decision in a Caltex carpark in Gosford.

You are not behind. You are between.

For readers of Mel Robbins, Glennon Doyle, and anyone who has Googled “is it normal to feel like this”.

“It’s the exact kind of funny, honest, and genuinely helpful self-help I didn’t know I needed. Real, raw, and hilarious like getting life advice from a smart, slightly chaotic best friend.”

“Scotty Boxa doesn’t hand you a polished, laminated 10-step plan to enlightenment. He hands you a megaphone, a mirror, and a duck-themed intervention.”

“This book gives you permission to want more, without guilt or apology, and shows that progress is about small, messy steps, not big leaps.”

“Equal parts hilarious and healing. Zero fluff, fierce compassion, and a duck ton of swearing.”
