14-year-old Leah loves wilderness survival books. In fact, sometimes she wishes she could escape into the wild. Then she could get away from the body image obsession at school and the bullies who pick on her little brother, Aiden. As long as she could still braid her hair, she could definitely survive without home comforts... and she could explore her passion for stargazing. But alone in the woods one night, Leah's life is transformed. She has the strangest sensation of gliding across the night sky, among millions of dazzling stars. This profound experience sparks a burning question in Leah that no one seems able to answer. Desperate to broaden her horizons, Leah challenges herself to attend an international summer camp. Will the people she meets there, from her first love Sean, to formidable climate activist Kayleigh, help Leah find the answer to her question: what is 'Home'?

This is the most enlightening notebook you'll ever read. Why? Because you'll be writing it! This is a Lifestory notebook, designed to encourage and inspire you to use its wide open spaces to write down and draw your world - and understand it a lot better. This beautifully presented hardback first edition also contains some reflective sayings from the highly acclaimed book, "Why is the Human on Earth?" by Mark Ballabon (and can be used with the original exercises in the book). "The Chilled Zone - My Notebook" is a special gift for yourself, or for someone else you value...

This is perhaps the most important question you will ever ask yourself. Why do I exist? This highly acclaimed and beautifully illustrated book is like a personal meditation and companion for your bedside. Each chapter touches that deepest part in us all which feels a higher calling and cause. The book is a truly uplifting experience, whilst the practical exercises promote a rare freedom to truly be yourself.Mark Ballabon (a 2015 Kindred Spirit Awards Nominee) worked with a team of editors, artists and designers for seven years to develop a compelling journey. Using original pictures, poetry, text and exercises, the reader's feelings and reasoning are engaged in a calm, intelligent and inspiring way. This ultimately makes the question practical and applicable into the kinds of changes that you had always hoped to make, but perhaps never thought possible.

Many people see the future merely as an extension of the past - more people, more technology, more wars. This book doesn't start there. The author opens up a vital, new proposition...to court the future, to partner it, to create with it. The original essays, beautiful illustrations and meditations in the book evoke a future you may never have conceived of yet. Essays such as "A Vision of the Future" and "Whatever possessed you to do that?" are truly mind opening journeys, whilst "When Nothing Satisfies" and "Why Worry?" promote the letting go of that which prevents the future. Highly reflective, eminently practical, thoroughly enjoyable and a natural sequel to his previous book, the acclaimed 'Why is the Human on Earth?' Mark Ballabon is a natural philosopher and author, nominated for a prestigious 2015 Kindred Spirit Award and whose books have received high rated reviews around the world.
