Surfing is a way of life that transcends beyond the waves and soaks into the core of our existence. Those laws of surfing, which tells us how fast to paddle, when to pop up on our board, or even how long to hold our breath when struggling to reach the surface, can and do apply to any situation in our lives whether it be work, relationships, school, health, or anything. If you're struggling with happiness in any of those situations, you have the power to change your entire life. You can surf for any of your goals with the right framework, whether it's to surf Rincon in California, North Shore of Oahu, or finding a new job. A surfer's guide to personal success is that map which tells you the mile marker to turn when searching for the break you've been looking for your entire life. I used a blend of experience, knowledge, and love of surfing in crafting this guidebook that shows you that map in a simple step by step manner. Our goals are like waves on the ocean. They keep coming, and it's up to us to decide which to ride. When you miss the ride, don't get mad at the wave, just paddle into another because the waves always come.
