"Invigorates
and inspires, Excellent. - Dan Rather, CBS news
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

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.

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. - 4.0 out of 5 stars Nothing
