Bloom is our highest and most natural state of being, but how do we reach it when the world feels so dark and heavy? In Doom and Bloom bestselling author and YouTube sensation Campbell Walker (aka Struthless) offers us a roadmap. Blending modern research with ancient philosophy, Campbell's witty sense of humour, searing intelligence and intense vulnerability will make you laugh, cry and pull you from the depths of darkness.
