We've all been there: exhausted by one of life's waves, or maybe it's turned into a rip. We struggle to keep afloat. Crippled by the fear of the unknown. Hesitant to dive in. Author of Wisdom from the Ocean, Robert Kenn, found many parallels between living his life and what he has learned from the most powerful place of all - the ocean.

Robert has interviewed surfers across Australia to write this beautiful book that contains real and relatable strategies that helped these surfers shift from merely surviving to truly thriving in life. Each chapter is based on a conversation Robert had with a different surfer. Whether it's relationship dilemmas, mental health struggles or making major life decisions, the book imparts the wisdom these surfers have learnt from the sea that they can apply to life.

Born and raised in Greater London, Robert Kenn emigrated to Australia as a young adult in search of warmer climes and has lived much of his life in the Northern Beaches.

Whilst his background is in the corporate world of accounting, for a long time he has felt the desire to write a book that could benefit others.

Both inside and outside of work he has always wanted to make a difference in other people's lives, which has included being the Chair of The 100% Project, a not-for-profit organisation that strives to ensure 100% of all women and men can contribute to society in the workplace and beyond.
