THE WAY OF THE WAVE

Overwhelmed by life’s challenges, unpredictability, and uncertainty? Imagine waking up each day with less stress and more ease, confident that you have the tools to help you navigate life’s highs and lows with greater ease and clarity.

Despite our best-laid plans, we can’t predict or control what might happen at any given moment. “Go with the flow,” we’re often told. But how do we do that?

That’s what Daniel A. Miller (best-selling author of Losing Control, Finding Serenity and The Gifts of Acceptance) set out to learn after a rapid-fire series of traumatic events had taken its toll—mentally, physically, financially, and spiritually. Drawing inspiration from ocean waves, body surfing and their parallels to the unpredictable flow of life’s currents, he shares insights and practices from his nearly 40-year journey of trying to “go with the Wave” in all aspects of life.

With honesty, wisdom, compassion, and humor, The Way of the Wave offers tools and actionable strategies, coupled with inspiring personal stories and reflective prompts, that will help you

  • Reduce conflict, stress, worry and anxiety by overcoming wave obstructors—control, high expectations, judgment, negative thinking, fear and anger, failure to set boundaries, denial, and self-neglect
  • Increase calm, clarity, inner peace and trust in yourself by embracing wave enhancers—acceptance, trust, humility, intuition, truth, and self-care
  • Enjoy stronger relationships, greater trust, openness, and intimacy with your loved ones, friends, and others
  • Discover new opportunities in the most discouraging situations
  • How to reframe your mindset to build resilience and find balance in all aspects of life whether dealing with work pressures, relationship hurdles, parenting struggles, creative blocks, or personal setbacks
  • Navigate the troubled waves of addiction, combative people, and the tidal wave of our times: The Great Divide

The book provides a roadmap for living life with a sense of calm, purpose, and the wisdom to navigate whatever challenges come your way.

Deeply insightful and practical, The Way of the Wave offers hope not only for individuals but our turbulent nation.

"The Way of the Wave is a thoughtful walk-through life advice in which listening and acceptance are central themes. It closes with a strong call to connect across political divides because whatever we care about, living in alternate realities is not serving us or our children well."
