When he was a boy, Richard Bode was taken under the wing of a sailor. He then learned to achieve mastery over the elements himself and in turn over himself. He passes on these memories of his sailing youth and how its simple lessons served him well in life.
FIRST YOU HAVE TO ROW A LITTLE BOAT first hit shelves in the mid 1990s and has been inspiring readers ever since. Written by a grown man looking back on his childhood, it reflects on what learning to sail taught him about life: making choices, adapting to change and becoming his own person.
The book is filled with the spiritual wisdom and thought-provoking discoveries that marked such books as Walden, The Prophet and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.
For nearly twenty years, it has enchanted and endeared sailors and non-sailors alike, but foremost, anyone who seeks large truths in small things. This refurbished edition will find a place in the hearts of a whole new generation of readers.
