Wave by Wave : From City Stress to Oceanic Freedom. A Memoir About Letting Go Kindle Edition
Advance Praise for Wave by Wave
“Some books take you on a journey – this one sets sail with you. Anna has written more than just a travel memoir;this is a raw, beautiful, and deeply personal reflection on life, fear, courage, and the vastness of both the ocean and the human soul. With every wave and every challenge, she invites us to question what truly matters. I was completely captivated.”
— Sumitra Sjöström
“I found Anna's book very informative, especially when she describes her personal experiences, doubts, and how she dealt with them. It is certainly a valuable source of information – and inspiration – for anyone planning a long voyage.”
– Jimmy Cornell
“This is a new and unusual book – the uniqueness of this book is how it weaves together physical sailing with a spiritual journey. Digressions into psychological, philosophical, and existential aspects enrich the story. Anna describes life on board in a way that even non-sailors can enjoy and understand.”
— Roger Nilson, MD, Round-the-world racing sailor
“Anna's book is an amazing travelogue of circumnavigation and soul-seeking. Both journeys are equally captivating, full of observations of fascinating material and spiritual details.”
— Kristofer Erlandson
“A long-anticipated book about sailing around the world. Anna brings us close to the wonders of life on the oceans while also sharing a parallel inner journey. A book for anyone navigating change in life.”
— Ann Paulin, Long-time cruiser
***
This is a true story about a couple from Stockholm who sold everything they had, to live and sail around the world. They left a hectic life at the top of their careers, Anna as a professional coach and Arthur as an architect. The soul-searching question Anna brought was: what will happen to us when we take on such a big life change?
The story begins with the summer that turned everything around. You will follow the intense preparation time, from selling the apartment to moving into a new yacht. Anna shares the tough journey of letting go of almost everything. And that is just the beginning of everything they later let go of.
This is a book about sailing the oceans and circumnavigating the world. It is also the story of the inner journey. Taking on a new adventure means being a beginner again. Loving change became a must. Like Odysseus, the story ends with sailing home. This time much wiser after overcoming the many challenges along the way.
