wandering matt

Author: Matt Larson

With my first book, 4000s by 40, released this fall, I am fulfilling a lifelong dream of writing, and am excited to continue the journey of storytelling with future projects—so much so that the day after I published 4000s by 40, I began my next work. Much of my inspiration comes from nature. My early love for the ocean, found on the South Shore of Massachusetts, has transitioned into a deep passion for the mountains here in New Hampshire, and I wanted to share that with my first book. If you’d like to connect or have any inquiries, you can reach out to me at [email protected]. I’m also on Instagram and Facebook at wanderingmatt8. Happy reading!

A Year Sleeping On the Couch

Posted on April 29, 2021May 17, 2025

No, my wife didn’t kick me out of the bedroom. I didn’t do anything wrong or anything like that. But for the last year, longer actually, I’ve had to sleep on the couch because of this nerve pain I’m dealing with. Turns out the only way I can get comfortable enough for some precious hours…

Shut Up Banana, I’m in Control

Posted on April 28, 2021November 17, 2021

My battle with chronic pain has led me to try anything and everything for help. Acupuncture, elimination diets, massage therapy, physical therapy, mental therapy, pharmaceutical medications, herbal medications, CBD, melatonin, corticosteroids, you name it — none of them have solved the problem. Several of them even made the pain much, much worse. I’m looking at…
