DISCOVER FOUR FOUNDATIONS OF HAWAIIAN LIVING
FOR A PEACEFUL AND BALANCED LIFE.

More than just a beautiful paradise, Hawai'i has a rich culture, deeply rooted in tradition. Native Hawaiian and cultural expert Kainoa Daines has spent many years teaching visitors to the islands about this time-honored wisdom, and now he has teamed up with journalist Annie Daly to share that knowledge with you. Island Wisdom is an inspirational and rewarding journey through traditional Hawaiian teachings that have stood the test of time, from how to be pono (live a balanced life) to how to mālama 'āina (preserve and protect the land). Filled with the voices and guidance of Hawaiian elders, regional folklore, and ancient teachings—plus gorgeous local photography and illustrations throughout—Island Wisdom is a celebration of Hawaiian culture, language, and values that will give you a deeper understanding, appreciation, and respect for Hawai'i and the Hawaiian way of life.

Perfect for:

- Fans of the New York Times bestseller The Little Book of Hygge
- Travelers who have visited or are thinking of visiting Hawai'i
- Readers curious to learn about Hawaiian culture and language
- Anyone seeking a more thoughtful and balanced life
