Laird Hamilton's Book Review
Monday, June 21, 2010 at 4:00AM 
Laird Hamilton is a legendary "Big Wave" surfer, riding monster waves often in the range of 50 feet. He lives the life many dream of: eating right, swimming and surfing in Hawaii, and just being all-around awesome.
I downloaded his book, "Force of Nature" and read it on the Kindle app on the iPhone. Having it on the iPhone was actually very convenient. I was able to pop it open and read it at any time I liked.
I'm a bit of a book snob, but not in the way you'd think. The book is targeted to readers that want simple answers and simple motivation, and it delivers perfectly. I noticed there was a lack of high-brow language, and that served the book's purpose exactly. He tells you how he does what he does, simply and effectively. By "book snob", I mean that I think a book should deliver to it's target audience and purpose, and this one does.
His book provides an insight into how one of the most talented athletes in the world approaches nutrition, training, and spirit. It's full of good insights, attitude, and even nutrition, which will take you miles farther than overly-detailed target heart rate graphs.
I finished the book feeling energized. I also felt like I had seen into the mind of somebody who was doing it all in a way that we should aspire to attain. It's a good read.
I got my copy at Amazon.com.
