Hi everyone,
I have paperback copies of The Inside Hustle for a neighbour special of $29.99 (RRP $34.99) and FREE contactless delivery. Men & women have been equally loving this book and found it particularly pertinent and comforting during current times.

Reviews:
"Have just finished this superb book. As an ex traveling man I related perfectly to the life Walden leads. Highly recommend." Robert

"What a perfect pandemic read! It was exactly what I needed to hear when I needed to hear it the most. The author took me on a fantastic journey through the world and into the soul. I laughed, I cried, and then I laughed some more. Joanna's brutally honest description of searching for that "something", only to be left feeling empty beautifully put into words what I've been feeling forever. Love, love, LOVE!" KatieBro

"Jo's personal journey really resonated with me. I thoroughly enjoyed this read and I laughed out loud and cried tears throughout. It is an easy holiday read and can be read just as a travel book alhough I got hugely more out of it than that. It was an emotional and fun journey. A must read that I thoroughly recommend." Paul

"A perfect read in these strange times. Joanna’s book was the perfect unputdownable escape from lockdown life. Not only does she tell a fantastic story of her travels and experiences that makes for an entertaining read but she ponders a lot of questions about our life’s and purpose in a refreshing and honest style. Perfect book for self reflection on our own path and how we may wish to live more connected to the magic of nature once we are out." Caro

"Brilliant! A tour de force! A beautiful journey to find herself where Joanna takes you on an intimate, honest and also hilarious search that touches you in a very special way. A must read in these uncertain times." Akio

"Wow just Wow! I loved every minute of this wonderful book. No holds barred as Joanna takes you through her spiritual & personal journey from 9/11 New York to the Camino in Spain & everything in between. Written with such a refreshing & quirky outlook, so raw at times, and spellbinding throughout. There are certainly no dull moments in both the content & her magical writing style. Left me thirsting for more at every page, and the revelations I felt at the end were personally emotional for me. A must read for anyone looking for the deeper meaning in all of our life’s journeys in so many ways. I look forward to a follow up." Jackie
