All Our Waves Are Water: Stumbling Toward Enlightenment and the Perfect Ride by Jaimal Yogis
4.0
I will begin by saying that Jaimal Yogis himself offered a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review if I was so inclined.
When I began reading, the book smacked of "white guy goes to brown country and pretends not to be a tourist, successfully becomes a tourist" vibe. Jaimal even mentions it himself (page 2); howver, I was in for an experience that was much deeper than the surface implied.
Jaimal does a very good job seeking balance in his life and furthering his study of fundamental Buddhist principles. There is, of course, the water. Surfing as meditation, and the realization that life, borne of water, is like water: fluid and ever-changing.
