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.

What Customers Say About Force of Nature: Mind, Body, Soul (And, of Course, Surfing):

He has a good little core conditioning workout which I now include in my morning routine. It provides an all round view of this awesome athlete, not only on surfing, but life, fitness, diet, his philosophies, and includes insights from those who know him. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. My mum always told me to go into the sea if I had an injury, and I note Laird promotes the same. We gain an appreciation of his holistic approach to his sport and life. An athlete who is not after trophies or accolades, but just wants to live life to the full and push the boundaries. Just one of the many little gems of information in this book. Will definitely remain on my coffee table for all to read.
Found the book on a late night talk show, decided to get it from the library. It was so inspirational that I have since (4 months ago): bought it, started running and quit smoking after 15 years (3 months now). I feel more focused at work and feel better now that I am sleeping more too.Surfing is irrelevant to a city boy in the Midwest but I love this book.
I bought this book, because I am into the "all natural" thing. I wanted to hear what Laird had to say, and was interested in his upbringing & philosophy on life. I found it interesting & informative. Worth the read.
Well written with real world applications. He is one of the most accomplished athletes of today. He was able to put into words his thoughts and ideas that has brought him success in life. He is living it to the fullest and many lessons can be taken from the book.
is an amazing book to read,I am a lifeguard in south beach and I practice many of the exercises from laird hamilton.
