Estante 6 West of Jesus is a book about surfing in the same way that Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance is a book about motorcycles. If you liked the latter, I'd highly recommend the former for the way Steven Kotler explores questions of belief from a nontraditional stance and provides the reader with plenty of source material for further investigation...read more ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
After spending two years in bed with Lyme disease, Steven Kotler had lost everything: his health, his job, his girl, and, he was beginning to suspect, his mind. Kotler, not a religious man, suddenly found himself drawn to the sport of surfing as if it were the cornerstone of a new faith. Why, he wondered, when there was nothing left to believe in, could he begin to believe in something as unlikely as surfing? What was belief anyway? How did it work in the body, the brain, our culture, and human history? With the help of everyone from rebel surfers to rocket scientists, Kotler undertakes a three-year globetrotting quest. The results are a startling mix of big waves and bigger ideas: a surfer's journey into the biological underpinnings of belief itself. No library descriptions found. |
