What They're Saying

Critics Review

Lambert has finished the course well in Mind Over Water, which has the same attributes as the rowing he adores: precision, grace, and total immersion. Boston Globe

“A staff writer and editor for Harvard Magazine tells how sculling became a path to personal growth and how ‘lessons learned afloat carry over onto dry land.’ The result is a ‘thoughtful, lovingly drawn meditation, ’ Caroline Knapp wrote here last year. ‘The river becomes a character in its own right, something to dip into for a time, something transporting.’” The New York Times
