Boats, Tomatoes, Golden Eggs and Other Emotional Support Structures

This book started with tomatoes.It ended with a four-hundred-kilogram golden egg.Somewhere in between are stories about fathers, friendship, grief, responsibility, hope, broken dreams, custody battles, a very expensive ute, and the strange things we carry through life.For years, Daniel Adams believed strength meant carrying more.More responsibility. More pressure. More expectations. More people's problems.Then one day he realised he wasn't carrying a few boats.He was carrying a marina.Part memoir, part self-reflection, and part conversation between friends, Boats, Tomatoes, Golden Eggs and Other Emotional Support Structures explores the lessons hidden inside everyday experiences and the people who shape us along the way.Funny, honest, occasionally ridiculous, and surprisingly hopeful, this is a book about grief, family, friendship, fatherhood, resilience, self-worth, and learning the difference between helping people carry their boats and trying to carry them for them.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the weight of life, this book might help.And if not, at least you'll finally find out what the golden egg is.
