The Human Highway Code: A Guide To Navigating Life With Awareness And Compassion
The Human Highway Code is a journey through the twists, turns, and roundabouts of the human mind — a guide to navigating life with awareness, humour, and compassion. Written by Jon Carroll, a mental health nurse with over 30 years of clinical experience and 7 years of lived experience with a bipolar diagnosis, this book blends professional insight with personal truth in a way that is both deeply human and refreshingly hopeful.
Drawing from decades of work within the NHS, from Early Intervention in Psychosis to Criminal Justice Liaison and Diversion, Jon offers a grounded perspective on what it really means to stay present and balanced in a world that often moves too fast. His reflections reveal how the principles that guide us on the road — awareness, patience, courage, and care for others — also guide us through life itself.
Through thoughtful storytelling, gentle humour, and practical wisdom, The Human Highway Code encourages readers to recognise the signs that shape their journey — the hazards worth avoiding, the detours that bring unexpected growth, and the green lights that signal it’s time to move forward.
Part memoir, part reflection, and part compassionate guide, this book is about learning to travel with purpose and heart. It’s an invitation to slow down, breathe, and rediscover the art of mindful living — one mindful mile at a time.
