Overview


Using surfing as a metaphor for motivational and self-improvement concepts and written in accessible, everyday language peppered with surfer slang, Staying on Top proves that the good life is available right now.

Making these essential lessons fun, cartoon character Surf Master Alva appears throughout the book to dispense nuggets of wisdom that point the way to the good life, illustrating in a humorous and wise way that experts and gurus are not needed to understand and make the most of life. In other words, we don’t have to learn how to achieve the good life through retreats, pills, hospitals or programs, nor do we have to wait until we find the “perfect time”. In surfer parlance, “Surfz up, dude! Get your board and get to the beach.”
