About Laurence

Laurence V Harrould is a writer based in lutrawita/Tasmania. His career includes consultant Astrologer and Astrology trainer, Business and Personal Life Coach, High School teacher, Database Application developer, and others.

He began his working life, with a university degree in science, as a technical officer in research and teaching laboratories at the University of New South Wales. He recalls, over 50 years later, a wall sized diagram, in small print and symbols, showing the ADP/ATP cycle. This is one of the most basic processes in all living cells. Its complexity had a huge effect on him. Around that time, he was introduced to Astrology as a serious study. Contrary to what many scientists say he could not deny that Astrology works. These two insights could be summed up in “as above, so below”.

The combination of a scientific perspective combined with an awareness of the spiritual world has defined much of his thinking.

Given that, one of the most fundamental moral questions is; “why do bad things happen to good people?” In 2024 he published his first book ‘Love Your Pain – Why Bad Things Happen To Good People’ in which he offers a unique insight into answering this question.

Love Your Pain - synopsis

Transform your life by understanding the meaning and purpose underlying your pain.

What did I do to deserve this? Why is this happening to me? Why do bad things happen to good people? These are questions that thoughtful people have been asking since the beginning of time. In this, easy to understand, book Laurence is presenting a perspective that draws on science, Theosophy, Astrology and more to provide a unique and satisfying answer.

As Einstein said: “Make it as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Using stories to illustrate the concepts Laurence has made this concept as simple as possible and highly readable.

“I read a lot of self-help books and Laurence's perspective is unique. His combination of spirituality and physics, illustrated by stories, has enabled me to see the world very differently. I still ask questions about pain and "bad things", but now I am much more at peace with the experience. This is a life-changing book.”

“Laurence has presented his wisdom in a very compassionate, cheerful and optimistic way with loving and well-told stories. This is an important book to read.”

“As a trained obstetrician and gynaecologist, the most powerful part of the book for me was reading the example of the woman giving birth. This was a golden nugget!

I also found the graphs with spiritual and material concerns powerful and the diagram outlining the various influences and factors that make us who we are. I am Natasha and the essence of who I am is made up of my parents and their history/ experiences. Soon after reading this book, I saw Henry Winkler (the Fonz from Happy Days) speak. He spoke of how his Thought Forms and patterns have been heavily influenced by his parents who fled Nazi Germany. The Fonz I reckon would resonate very much with Laurence’s book too.”
