Mind over Water

In this wise and inspiring book, Craig Lambert turns rowing -- personal discipline, modern Olympic sport, grand collegiate tradition, and fitness pursuit for thousands of men and women -- into a metaphor for a vigorous and satisfying life. This is a book about balance, about attaining consistency and speed, independence and cooperation, joy and creative powers. The New York Times Book Review called Mind Over Water "a thoughtful, lovingly drawn meditation," and the Boston Globe said, "Lambert has finished the course well in Mind Over Water, which has the same attributes as the rowing he adores: precision, grace and total immersion."
