Life is like the ocean. It can be calm or still, and rough or rigid, but in the end, it is always beautiful.”
Gerry Lopez
We’ve all been there: Exhausted by one of life’s waves, or maybe it’s turned into a rip. We struggle to keep afloat. Crippled by the fear of the unknown. Hesitant to dive in.
Author of 🌊🌊Wisdom from the Ocean, Robert Kenn found many parallels between living his life and what he has learned from the most powerful place of all – the ocean.
Robert has interviewed surfers across Australia, from Curl Curl to Maroubra, to write this beautiful book that contains real and relatable strategies that helped these surfers shift from merely surviving to thriving in life.🌊🌊
Each chapter is based on a conversation Robert had with a different surfer. Whether it’s relationship dilemmas, mental health struggles or making major life decisions, the book imparts the wisdom these surfers have learnt from the sea that they can apply to life.
Loved my interview with this wise authentic author capturing the essence of lessons learnt including
🌊Don’t drown battling: When faced with a challenge, don’t panic - consider a change in direction, go with the flow whilst waiting for help.
🌊Mastery and fear: Never create excuses saying you’re learning to master something first. Own your fears and mistakes and enjoy the art of trying, failing and trying again.
