Welcome to Surfing Emotions Updates.
This page serves as the central hub for news and developments across the Surfing Emotions ecosystem, including books, therapy services, educational resources, technology, and future initiatives.
Since the publication of The Art of Surfing Emotions in December 2025, Surfing Emotions has continued to evolve into a growing collection of books, programs, therapeutic tools, and practical frameworks designed to help people develop greater emotional awareness, acceptance, resilience, and intentionality.
Our mission remains simple: helping people learn how to navigate their emotions rather than fight against them.

Surfing Emotions AI Interactive Workbook
One of our most exciting current projects is the Surfing Emotions AI Interactive Workbook.

Specialized learning tracks currently in development include:
The platform is currently in the testing phase and is scheduled for release on August 31, 2026.
A printed companion workbook will also be available for individuals who prefer a traditional format.
The initial rollout will focus on supporting clients within the Surfing Emotions Therapy practice. Future plans include developing a version for the general public so more people can benefit from the Surfing Emotions approach to emotional growth and self-mastery.
Surfing Emotions Book Series
The Surfing Emotions book series continues to expand.
We are currently collaborating with Jennifer Hatcher, LCSW, on a book proposal for Surfing Emotions for Kids. This project is designed to bring the principles of emotional awareness, acceptance, emotional regulation, and resilience to children, parents, educators, and helping professionals in an engaging and practical format.
Additional books and resources are planned as we continue developing the Surfing Emotions framework for individuals across different stages of life.
Audiobook Now Available
The audiobook edition of The Art of Surfing Emotions was released in March 2026 and is now available.
The audiobook offers an accessible way to explore the Surfing Emotions model and learn practical tools for navigating difficult emotions with greater acceptance, flexibility, and intentionality.
Surfing Emotions Substack
A Surfing Emotions Substack publication is coming soon.
The newsletter will feature reflections and practical insights on emotional regulation, affective neuroscience, philosophy, resilience, personal growth, and the practical application of the Surfing Emotions model.
Subscribers will also receive updates on new books, tools, programs, and future developments across the Surfing Emotions ecosystem.
Surfing Emotions Dynamics
Another future project currently in development is Surfing Emotions Dynamics, a concise pocket guide designed to provide simple visual maps that help people better understand themselves and develop greater agency in their lives.
The core idea is straightforward: The more we resist our emotions, the more we become trapped in cycles of struggle and reactivity. As we increase acceptance of our internal experience, we become more connected to ourselves, others, and reality as it is.
Greater acceptance leads to greater connectivity.
Greater connectivity leads to greater agency.
Greater agency empowers us to become more intentional in how we think, respond, and live.
Surfing Emotions Dynamics will present these ideas through practical frameworks, visual models, and easy-to-understand diagrams designed to support emotional flexibility, self-mastery, and personal growth.
For an early look at these concepts, visit the Surfing Emotions Dynamics page on this website.
