This review is from: Dancing with the Wind: A True Story of Zen in the Art of Windsurfing (Paperback)
A psychologist, a wife (and former wife), a mother, a daugher, a reporter, a windsurfer and spiritual seeker are some of the roles that Dr. Nadel weaves in and out of in this courageous, funny, downright sad and insightful book. Windsurfing is the metaphor for the wild and treacherous ride we're all on. The lessons she learns and articulates to her fortunate readers are solid and sobering. This well written, fast-paced book is a must read.

5.0 out of 5 stars A BRILLIANT READ!, Nov 29 2001
This review is from: Dancing with the Wind: A True Story of Zen in the Art of Windsurfing (Paperback)
Laurie Nadel's DANCING WITH THE WIND A TRUE STORY OF ZEN IN THE ART OF WINDSURFING moved me to tears, laughter, joy, and feelings of triumph! It is a fascinating read about her struggles with her health, her family, her love of windsurfing, and her ability to over come any obstacle put in front of her. Her courage is inpsirational to us all. I cheered her on thoughout the entire book! I will share this with all of my friends. This is a truly "I can do" book, one people from all walks of life should read. Thank you Dr. Nadel for sharing your very personal life story with us.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing short of wonderful, Oct 24 2001
By 
Cherisa Burk "tamburk" (NYC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Dancing with the Wind: A True Story of Zen in the Art of Windsurfing (Paperback)
Nadel examines her life through the prism of windsurfing over a number of years, and it's well worth accompanying her as she searches for meaning and balance. The book contains so much truth - personal, social, spiriitual - that its very multidimensionality adds to the richness of the subject and magnifies it.

Her meditations include visits with a wide range of thoughtful authors, including Jung, Camus, Matthiessen, and a bibliography at the end lets you follow up to continue the journey you began with her. Highly recommended.
