The Book

“Swimming Backwards Upside-Down” is a short book that was published in 2014. The only reason this book was published was because I thought it would “be cool to publish a book.” I never really thought anyone would actually read the words, much less understand what I was trying to communicate. Then I met Rowan… 
 
The story of Rowan and I is captured in the podcast. 

However, Rowan is the reason I find any value in the words I wrote more than 10 years ago. In actuality, the book and the messages it conveys are much more relevant and important now, in 2024, than they were when originally published. And in many ways, the importance of the book in 2024 is the genesis of the podcast. However, the book is more than capable of standing on its own.
 
It seems that today words like “personal responsibility”, “accountability”  and “acceptance of results and consequences” can be found everywhere. They are also found in the book. In the most basic of summaries, the idea within the book is if a person truly wishes to be content, successful, and healthy in all ways possible, take responsibility for the life you are creating. Accept all the results of the thoughts and actions you experience as an individual and work to create the life you desire. 
 
Powerful words that are so easy to write but prove so difficult to practice. However, if one is able, the possibilities are endless. 

The Author

My name is Hylan McLaughlin and  the only words I can write are these. “I CARE.”

 

I care about you and I care about me. I care about the kids in this world and the future we will leave them. I care about the Earth and the Oceans and the Air we breathe and I care about the damage I see us doing. I look around the world today and I am concerned.

 

We, as individuals and as a whole, are not doing well. We are not ok. I don’t know if I can actually make a difference in any way, but I sure as heck am going to try. Everything I do and everything I offer in this website is because I CARE. I can offer nothing more and I refuse to offer anything less. I believe in you and I believe in me. 

 

“If we can take good care of ourselves, we can take good care of this world.” This is my greatest hope, my dream, and all my efforts.
