What happens when the life you built becomes the life that buries you?
For nearly thirty years, Mike Karame devoted himself to creating the world he had always imagined. Nineteen of those years were spent running his own horse club in Lebanon, while motorcycles, paragliding, kitesurfing, business, and travel became part of an existence driven by discipline, risk, adventure, and freedom.
Then, at forty-eight, he left Lebanon and moved to Australia.
What followed was not the new beginning he expected. A business unraveled. Money disappeared. Relationships were tested. The identity he had spent decades constructing began to collapse.
When everything finally fell apart, Mike and his partner packed what remained into a caravan and set out across Australia. Far from the noise and expectations that had shaped him, the open road, the outback, and long stretches of solitude created space for a different kind of journey.
Beneath the loss emerged a more unsettling question: how much of what he had built had actually been chosen by him?
How to Lose a Life You Love is a memoir about the conditioning that quietly shapes our choices, the beliefs we inherit without questioning, and what can happen when the structures that once defined us disappear.
Moving from Lebanon to Australia, from horses and extreme sports to business failure, migration, life on the road, love, and the vast silence of the Australian landscape, Karame explores what remains when achievement, certainty, and identity are stripped away, and what it means to reclaim sovereignty over one's own life.
This is not a book about rebuilding the life you lost.
It is about finding the part of yourself that was never lost.
