WHY THINGS FEEL F*CKED
Your Practical Guide to Getting Unstuck
Andrew Sloan

This isn’t just a self-help book; it’s a practical field guide and action plan for lasting change.

Why Things Feel F*cked is a practical, no-nonsense guide for anyone feeling burnt out, stuck or disconnected in today’s chaotic world. Drawing on over a decade of clinical practice and his own transformation from stuck to free, psychotherapist Andrew Sloan offers a clear, grounded path to understand why modern life feels so off—and how to finally get unstuck and feel alive again.

• Are you dissatisfied with life, despite achieving the things you were told would make you happy – the career, the relationship, the house?

• What if you’ve tried to follow that path, only to find it wasn’t built for you – or that it’s far harder to access than promised?

• Are you stuck, burnt out and disconnected? Do you feel… lost?

• You are not alone, and you are not broken. The world is.

The world is chaotic and constantly changing, leaving us feeling like there’s simultaneously one foot flooring the accelerator and the other slamming on the brake. We’re burning out and have no idea how we got into this mess, let alone how we can ever start to get out.

Why Things Feel F*cked is a practical roadmap back to feeling genuinely alive. Breaking down how the modern world has hijacked our nervous systems for disconnection; psychotherapist Andrew Sloan draws from the latest research and over a decade of clinical practice to expertly walk with you on a journey of self-leadership and lasting change.

In a world of disconnection and confusion, Why Things Feel F*cked shines a light on human connection, giving us a step-by-step guide for cultivating the foundation of a happier, more satisfied life.

Born in Cairns (Far North Queensland – Australia) I am the youngest and the only boy of a family of five. My first serious job was as a Salesperson, the announcer, then Production Manager for 4AM. I spent in excess of ten years running my own successful entertainment agency before moving to Melbourne (Victoria – Australia) where I currently live, work and play. A week after arriving I joined the sales team at JOY 94.9fm – what was to be Australia’s first and only dedicated gay and lesbian radio station. I was clearly destined to be self-employed as fate would have it. Q Magazine was born in March 2004 and as they so rightly say ‘the rest is history’.
