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?

Force of Nature: Mind, Body, Soul
when you read this number of reviews and the vast majority are composed by people that have never reviewed anything before aside from maybe a token one in the same time frame. Dudes, the pundits really came out on Dec 16. Yes, I haven’t read the book but what the hell since the author seems to be a great guy and certainly accomplished I’ll join the LoveFest and give this deal 5 stars too!
laird has the life style we all dream about. he has the guts and fortitude to surf the largest waves in the world “hats off to him”. as far as his book, just a lot of recycled info here. IMO just making money off his name with nothing new here or inspiring. decent health tips though
gotta love the espresso Honolulu
Laird Hamilton is my generation’s God. He continues to test his limits while sticking to the core beliefs that have made him what he is. I’ve been lucky enough to spend some time in Malibu over the last two years so I’ve actually been in the presence of this superhuman, superfit man – and I’m here to tell you – he could just get by on the way he looks (and that HAIR!) but Laird has put together an AMAZING book. I’m a writer, so I’m not easily impressed. His book is on the floor in my office so I see it every day. I love the work-outs. I love his philosophy on life. I love that he introduced me to a new way of thinking about eating that makes total sense. I love how much he loves his daughters and his wife Gabby. You’ll love this book. Really, you will. He pretty much tells you how he stays looking the way he does – what to do for your work-outs, what to eat, supplements you might want to take. It’s the real deal, guys. BUY THIS BOOK…Mary Kennedy Eastham, Author, ‘The Shadow of a Dog I Can’t Forget’ and the upcoming novel, ‘Night Surifng – A Story of Love & Wonder in the Waves of Malibu’
This is an easy and great read. It is very interesting, entertaining and educational. Laird really is a force of nature. His story, his life and all the accomplishments are really amazing. On top of that, he provides very good information and insight on physical and mental fitness. This book is great for a surfer like me, but anyone would find his story and his advise to be interesting and of great value. Everyone should read Laird’s story, he is a real inspiration and an American hero. This is a GREAT book.
And everyone should care about their wellbeing. Discard the previous review. Laird is probably the most complete athlete in the world today. Buy this book and start with implementing the training and eating program.
