About the Author
Jaimal Yogis is an award-winning author, journalist, and professional surfer whose writing weaves personal introspection with broader explorations of human resilience and spirituality. Raised in a multicultural family, Yogis found his calling on the waves, where he learned to navigate life's turbulent currents. His debut book, Saltwater Gospel, chronicled his global surfing odyssey, but it was All Our Waves Are Water: Stumbling Toward Enlightenment and the Perfect Ride that catapulted him to literary acclaim, blending memoir, travel, and Buddhist philosophy in a quest for inner peace amid chaos. In The Fear Project: What Our Most Primal Emotion Taught Me About Survival, Success, Surfing . . . and Love, he delves into the psychology of fear, drawing from neuroscience, adventure sports, and his own transformative experiences. A former staff writer for ESPN and contributor to The New York Times, Yogis lives in San Francisco with his family, continuing to surf and write about the intersections of mind, body, and ocean.
