I Strongly Believe in Incredible Things cover

A selection of the world’s most incredible things according to award-winning writer, comedian, artist and podcaster Rob Auton

I Strongly Believe In Incredible Things is a book of poetic prose, musings, short stories and biro drawings detailing a selection of the Earth’s incredible things by award-winning writer, comedian, artist and podcaster Rob Auton.

Unique, enchanting and utterly life affirming, this is a collection of pages that come together to create the opposite of the news, becoming the tonic for the complicated gin that is the world we find ourselves in today: a humorous and heartfelt book that is the ying to the yang that is politics ;a book of breathing space that gives oxygen to rediscovering the beauty of living on earth with the aim of fuelling people to return to the coal-face of everyday life with optimism and wonder in their pockets. Inhaling all we have in common, exhaling all we don’t.

From bubble wrap to Killer Whales; frog spawn to empathy, hand-dryers to parents, I Strongly Believe in Incredible Things wants to take you on a journey back to the incredible planet we live on.

It’s a lovely book. People will love it. There are few comedians who exist in their own unique world with their own distinctive voice. Rob Auton is very much one of them. James Acaster

A joyous, gentle, funny affirmation of life and what it has to offer us. Brian Bilston, author of Diary of a Somebody
