My thoughts in orbit: an accidental memoir about thinking too much

My Thoughts in Orbit is not your typical memoir—because the author never set out to write one. What began as scattered essays and reflections evolved into a heartfelt, unfiltered journey through real life—fatherhood, depression, self-doubt, music, hope, heartbreak, love, faith, grief, and the beauty in the everyday. Josh Givens, a self-taught writer and award-winning former newspaper columnist, shares raw, relatable, and often funny stories that capture the quiet battles and brilliant joys of modern adulthood. Whether it’s navigating blended family life, making peace with a complicated father-son relationship, or finding purpose in the chaos, these deeply human essays will make you nod in recognition, laugh unexpectedly, and maybe even tear up. For anyone who’s ever overthought life, longed for clarity, or just needed to know someone else gets it—this book is for you. Honest, introspective, and real, My Thoughts in Orbit will leave you feeling a little more understood and a lot less alone.
