All Heart

Haunting and inspirational, All Heart is the definitive memoir of one of Australia’s greatest sporting heroes: Mick Fanning.

Most people know Mick Fanning as the surfer who won three world titles. Some know him as the bloke who punched a shark. But that’s only part of the story.

All Heart is about growing up in a loud, loving family. It’s about chasing a dream and experiencing the highest of highs. It’s about being broken into pieces by unimaginable loss; about three brothers and a father dying too soon. It’s about doing whatever it takes, and learning whatever you can, to find your way again.

With honesty and humility, Mick opens up about the moments that shaped him – the wins, the waves, the parties, the people he lost, the mates who never left, and the family that helped him on his journey.

Raw, funny and deeply human, All Heart is more than the story of a champion surfer and global sporting icon. It’s the story of a man who took life’s hardest knocks on the chin and kept on pushing forward, and a reminder that our greatest achievements aren’t always the ones the world gets to see.
