The Surfboard: How Using My Hands Helped Unlock My Mind
English
By (author): Dan Kieran
The Surfboard is Dan Kieran's account of a week he spent in Cornwall building a seven-foot surfboard, even though he had never surfed a day in his life. He did this at a time when he felt he had reached his personal and professional limits: he needed to find a way to break through.
Interspersed with the story of making the board the intricate craft he had to learn, and the clarity of mind that came with that challenge are the reflections on the obstacles, rewards and realisations he encountered while starting and running a successful business.
This startlingly honest book is a finely crafted meditation on the importance of making things for their own sake and pushing beyond our preconceived limitations.
