About Philip
I'm Philip Lye. My books aren't built on theory. They come from more than 30 years of pain, depression and burnout, and the long road back to wholeness.
I hold a doctorate in cross-cultural training, a Graduate Diploma in Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations, and I'm a qualified accountant in both the UK and Australia. None of that protected me. I spent years being bullied, gaslit and manipulated at work, until I sought the help I needed to stop it and rebuild. Later, as full-time carer for my late wife Janine, a tetraplegic after three spinal strokes, I met the same patterns again in the care system. I studied medicine and pharmacology independently to hold my ground, and worked through to forgiveness.
Every guide is written for the person living it, and for the person standing beside them.
I also write about travel and culture in the Middle East, including Kurdistan. My field guide, How to Navigate Conflict Zones Responsibly, is in the e-books above.
