How Reading Rescued Luke Bateman's Inner Child and Changed His Life

CONTENT WARNING: This episode includes discussions of suicidal thoughts.

Are there parts of yourself, maybe long lost from your past or your childhood, that are waiting to be heard, to be honoured, to expand the person you think you are?

This was certainly the case for Luke Bateman.

In this episode, the ex-NRL player and Bachelor turned BookTok sensation, author and host of new podcast In the Good Books opens up to Osher about:

  • Why shame was so much a part of his life as a child
  • Coming back from the dark depths of his gambling addiction and depression
  • How he dealt with the controversy and social media blowback following news of his book deal
  • Why inner work is essential to achieving any goal
