A writer/producer for CBS News, Laurie Nadel began keeping a journal as she learned how to windsurf, using Zen as a way of finding balance within herself. When she came down with an illness with no medial cure, what she had learned from Zen and windsurfing took her far beyond what she ever thought she could accomplish--physically, mentally, and spiritually. Dancing with the Wind was nominated for a National Book Award.
Love this book. Nadel is a great writer with an inspiring story to tell of the resilience of the human spirit. Makes me want to start writing my own story.
