Laird Hamilton has been hailed as the world's greatest
big-wave surfer. His first book, Force of Nature, allows
readers a rare glimpse inside the unique philosophy that has
created his circumstances, and not the other way around.
After all, this is a man whose biological father abandoned
him shortly after he was born; whose first job was working
on a pig far; who dropped out of school in eleventh grade.
And then the career decision: surfer. Though earning enough
to pay the rent as any kind of surfer is next to impossible,
Hamilton has ended up in the place we all desire to be:
doing exactly what he loves, becoming the world's best in
the process, making a great living, being surrounded by
nature and family, radiating peak health and fitness, and
succeeding by any definition of the word.How did he get
there? And more importantly, how can the rest of us join
him?Force of Nature is a detailed map to that destination,
with Laird Hamilton as the reader's guide. It's not about
chasing trophies or accolades or cash. It's about quality
over quantitysoul and being true to your physical, mental,
and spiritual roots. Not only is it possible to thrive in
the modern world without adopting its harmful habits, it's
essential. And not only has Hamilton mastered this balance,
he makes a compelling and articulate case that anyone who
wants to can do the same.This book is a deeply authoritative
and cutting-edge guide to peak fitness in mind, body, sould,
and surfing. It comes directly from the source and his inner
circle, which includes those at the vanguard of sports,
training, nutrition, and more. Former pro volleyball player
Gabrielle Reece; surf legend Dave Kalama; fitness gurus Paul
Chek, T.R. Goodman, and Don Wildman; and Food Network star
Giada De Laurentiis all contribute their knowledge. Readers
will get an all-access pass into an elite world filled with
definitive and provocative ideas.
