Happiness Comes in Waves provides life lessons filled with inspiring stories and quotations from ocean advocates, illustrated with gorgeous photographs of the ocean, shorelines, and beaches.

Rise like a wave and live a life full of happiness! Above all, the ocean teaches us this: we are all connected. Everything we do echoes into the universe, and even the smallest changes can build into positive life momentum. Life is like the seaβ€”it moves us, shapes us, supports us, and awakens us to new shores. Ultimately, life teaches us to be like water ourselvesβ€”strong yet calm, steady yet yielding, subtle yet beautiful.

Each chapter is dedicated to a theme of life lessons to inspire you to live your most fulfilling life. With chapters on being free, courageous, purposeful, peaceful, and harmonious, you'll have words of wisdom to carry with you everywhere you go. Learn to move like the ocean with uplifting sand stories from beaches around the world meant to motivate you for your next great adventure.

Splash your way through each page as you learn about sand textures from Dune Jewelry's one-of-a-kind Sand Bank. This amazing nightstand book also includes an index, allowing you to identify where each featured sand texture comes from.
