One-Line Bio

Mike Karame is the author of How to Lose a Life You Love, a memoir about conditioning, collapse, and what's left when you rebuild without it.

Short Bio

Mike Karame spent nineteen years running his own horse club in Lebanon alongside a life of paragliding, kitesurfing, diving, and motorcycling. A later business in Australia collapsed and cost him his home and life savings — the same year he found love with his partner, Kate. How to Lose a Life You Love is his account of what childhood conditioning quietly decides for us, and what it takes to take the decision back.

The Book

Book Summary

How to Lose a Life You Love: A Memoir of Conditioning, Collapse, and Sovereignty traces one life across two names, two continents, and four turning points: a childhood in Lebanon that quietly wrote the rules; a horse club and years of adventure sport that looked like rebellion; the collapse of a business in Australia that took everything material with it; and the slow, unglamorous work of building a sovereign life afterward, with his partner Kate, in a caravan crossing the outback.

Its central claim: the conditioning we absorb as children keeps making our decisions as adults — quietly, invisibly — until loss forces us to look at it directly.

Talking Points

Key Themes

Conditioning & Identity

How childhood rules keep steering adult choices long after we think we've outgrown them.

Collapse & Rebuilding

What actually happens — practically and psychologically — when you lose a business, a home, and your savings at once.

Sovereignty in Practice

The difference between a life that looks free and one that is, and the ordinary work of closing that gap.
