Force of Nature: Mind, Body, Soul, and of course, Surfing by Laird HamiltonA perfect gift not just for surfers, but for anyone in your life that is into being one with the world. Laird Hamilton is exactly what his title suggests: a Force of Nature. He's been called the world's greatest big wave surfer, and he just happens to be married to Gabrielle Reese. This gorgeous hard bound book is 250 pages of beautiful photographs and everything that Laird believes life is all about. Broken into the four sections: Mind, Body, Soul and Surfing, Laird waxes poetic on goal setting, his grocery list, his heroes, his physical training . . . and my favorite, going barefoot.
I bought this book for my husband and while he was reading parts aloud, we both marveled at Laird's dedication. My husband, after getting halfway through, stopped and asked, "But who has the time?" We both were in laughing fits when he turned to the very next page and the header was: "There's no such thing as not enough time."
Laird has thought of everything, and the end result is a refreshing way to look at life. And some lofty goals that lead you contemplating their attainment long after you are done reading.
