Book Description

April 2, 2003
The beach has the power to restore us to ourselves. A day spent watching the waves or a long walk along the water's edge can bring us back to our center and remind us of the wisdom that resides within us all the time. At the ocean, it is possible to forget your daily worries and reconnect with your true self.

A beautifully designed keepsake book, Beach Wisdom: Life Lessons from the Ocean offers spirited and contemplative philosophies about joy, trust, abundance, and common sense, accompanied by gorgeous full-color photographs.

* Go in the water, even if it's cold.

* When you catch a wave, ride it.

* Just when you think it's getting too deep, you'll find a sandbar.

* Sometimes the best thing is to jump right in.

* To find the best shells, you have to walk slowly.

Throughout Beach Wisdom, exhilarating photos and inspiring text artfully merge to capture the power and relevance of the ocean in our lives. Its pages bring a sense of peace and awareness to everyone who reads it.

More About the Author

Elizabeth Cogswell Baskin is the CEO and Creative Director of Tribe, Inc, a $5 million branding company working with national and global clients like UPS, Coca-Cola Enterprises, Chick-fil-A and Porsche.

She started Tribe in 2002 in a converted screened porch off her kitchen, partly to avoid going off to an office every day while her son was young. She now has a strong interest in helping other entrepreneurs launch their own companies. In 2005, she wrote a book on female entrepreneurs called "Run Your Business Like a Girl." More recently, she developed a card deck titled "Start Your Own Company" that breaks down the gargantuan task of launching a business into 52 manageable steps, one step per card.

Her most recent book is titled "Hell Yes! Two Little Words for a Simpler, Happier Life" and is mostly about how to say no to the things that aren't important to you so you leave room to say yes to the ones that are.

Elizabeth lives in Atlanta with her husband Steve, son Sam and border collie Lucy. Tribe's office is now in a high-rise five minutes from the house, with a view of the trees stretching out to the Chattahoochee River beyond.

5.0 out of 5 stars A world of inspiration, April 29, 2003
By 
Jennifer E. Pounds (Atlanta, Ga United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beach Wisdom: Life Lessons From The Ocean (Hardcover)
It's the kind of book that I reach for when I am having 'one of those days'. It's small, simple and yet so rich in what it has to offer. The words of wisdom accompanied by the wonderfully calming photos of beach scenes relax my mind and give me cause to stop and reflect on what really matters in this world. We all need more times like this. If you can't get away to the beach, you can at least pick up this book and transport your mind and soul there.
