A complete introspective on a surfing icon's lifestyle
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
A great insight into a leading waterman's life and how he operates. I bought this book because I was looking to improve my life. Force of Nature includes sections on spirituality, health, fitness, nutrition, and what it takes to be a great athlete as a way of life. This book helped me cement some good practices like the blended shake I have in the mornings now, to helping me find a trainer who incorporated more than just weights, truly engaging my core through balance.
Great nutritional advise

I think the book has a well balanced, and realistic, view about nutrition and in general taking care of our bodies. I especially like that he did share with readers the products that he does use. I take two of the products he mentions in the book [...] Great book, I like the illustrations & overall good advice.
No wonder Laird is the best at what he does...

Great book, easy to read. Simple advise that works. There is something for EVERYONE in this book - even if you could care less about surfing. I don't surf and Laird's outlook on life is one many of us could learn from.

This book opened my eyes and at the same time confirmed some of the philosophies I have regarding health. Laird leads an amazing life and has an amazing attitude towards living. His words are very inspirational and at the same time his philosophies towards life deserve attention. Since reading his book I've started doing power yoga (vinyasa sytle), changed my weight routine over to his circuit training, and have made a few diet changes. The book is very easy to read and I found I did not want to put it down.
fantastic book
