A hilarious and not-so-serious memoir about how funny girl, Summer Land, raised her ovaries in middle class America before falling in love and moving to Australia with her coal-mining husband. Summerlandish is all the hard-won, scar-leaving, tattoo-regretting, butthole-tearing lessons Summer has learned over the years - "summer-ised" here in all their glamorously gory detail, so you don't have to bother with learning them yourselves. And, surprisingly, she seems to know quite a bit about love, life and awkward moments involving too much caffeine and/or lack of restraint.

Summer Land

Summer Land has authored and ghostwritten over ten books including The Mindful High Performer (Chelsea Pottenger), Acting Up (Lynne McGranger), A Joyful Life (Rosemary Kariuki) and Aussie Ark (Tim Faulkner). Her debut memoir, Summerlandish: Do As I Say, Not As I Did, earned Summer a nomination for Cosmopolitan’s “Fun Fearless Female Award” and garnered praise from 2014 Stella Prize winner, Clare Wright, who wrote, “Summer Land is Gen Y’s answer to Bill Bryson.

She’s an inveterate outlier who drags you in from the cold and wraps you in a great warm blanket of Summer lovin’. With an eye for the absurd, an ear for language and a nose for poop (actual poop, not bullpoop), Summer welcomes you into her hilarious world of cross-cultural misadventure. With her cherry-chapsticked all-American cheerleader charm, she will steal your heart and open your mind to life’s strange but true potential.”

When she's not writing, Summer is passionate about helping individuals and teams collaborate more efficiently, perform more effectively and produce work that doesn't come at the cost of their mental health. Through her role as a keynote speaker for EQ Minds, she gives people the confidence and mindfulness tools needed to act triumphantly and sustainably in everyday life.

My wife made me read this book. It was actually really funny. I feel like I understand my 3 year old daughter and 30 year old wife a lot better now.

This book is amazing. I seriously laughed out loud on the train (multiple times.) Summer's stories made me feel normal. Her brutal honesty is refreshing and endearing. Definitely get this book!
