With every new day comes the opportunity to grow.

What do you need to truly stay happy in your own head, day after day? The answer won't be the same every day, and it definitely won't be the same for everyone. However, truly knowing the answers for ourselves is one of the single most important things we can do. And the sooner we can find those answers, the better. 

That's according to Ian Hickie, one of Australia's foremost experts on mental health, and James O'Loghlin, his c...

When's the last time you ask why you do what you do?

Turning to some kind of higher power is a key component in many addiction recovery programs. And, as discussed in Osher's recent chat to 360, there's a good reason for that: it helps. 

But why? What does a high power even look like outside of religion? And how can this idea help us in our lives even outside of addiction?

Matt Colwell, better known by his stage name 360, is not the person he was. In this raw and personal conversation, he takes Osher through his full journey - from the romanticised partying rockstar, to self described 'total junkie', to rehab, reset, recovery and reinvention.

He outlines the tricks his ego played to keep him in the grips of addiction, how small actions were crucial in transforming his body and mind, the tools he now ...

Cam Walker isn't here to tell about 'one weird trick that will 10x your life.' He's not even trying to inspire you. But he does know firsthand what it's like to be lost in the depth of feelings of doom, and exactly what helped him slowly reach a place a bit more colourful.

If you feel like you're not living the kind of life you want, and if you feel like you're avoiding more than you're taking action to change that, then you might be what Dr Emily Musgrove calls 'stuck'.

What happens when the person you are is out of step with the person you thought you were, in some way? Or, what do you do when the effort you put in doesn't match the reception you expected to get back?

Off the back of Osher's second performance on Dancing with the Stars, he has some ideas on these topics - and they could be very useful the next time you encounter criticism, or the restriction created by your own expectations.

You might know actor Tim Pocock from his roles in Dance Academy or X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Even as a child, he graced the Sydney Opera House starring in operas directed by Baz Lurhman. 

But that world of artistic expression was in stark contrast to the other world Tim was part of for so long - one of repression by conservative catholicism under Opus Dei - made all the worse as he began to realise who he truly was.

When it came to writing a second book, Osher hadn’t lived enough since the extra bits were added to the second edition of his memoir to write another memoir based on only five years.

Instead, he wrote the book he wished he had during times when his mental health wasn’t doing well. It’s the kind of book one grabs when they’ve tried everything else but still feel stuck, or they’re trying to understand ho...
