Surfing the Himalayas

Summary: Nice Audio Rendition
Review: I do much traveling in my car and have taken up listening to books on tape. I have began to notice that my favorite audio books were the ones where the author read the passages. They know the work so well that it really carries across in the presentation.

Surfing the Himalayas audio tape is no exception. Dr. Lenz has excellent inflection and was a pleasure to listen to. I would recommend this for the commuters out there who are interested in "Eastern" topics.

Summary: This book is awful. Really awful.
Review: Reading Frederick Lenz talk about snowboarding and mountaineering is like listening to the Pope deliver a seminar on effective birth control methods - neither has any relevant expertise or knowledge about the respective topics. Save your money, or if must read the book, mail me and I'll send you my copy. It sucked

Summary: Timeless, Ancient, Modern and Relevant
Review: While this book is not exactly about the ins-and-outs of "surfing" per se, it is a intelligent and relevant view of ancient, ageless, eastern spiritual teachings brought to life when applied to our modern, western rat race that we call life. The author uses very ancient eastern spiritual teachings in a pragmatic, down to earth and humorous way to teach young American's,(western minds), how we might apply the best of the east to our busy western lifestyle. It combines the best of both worlds to lead the reader on a wild ride of humor,joy, truth and love. If you follow the recommendations outlined in the book, you will no doubt learn how to surf or do just about anything else you put your mind to. Highly recommend!
