The Road to Calm: Mastering Stress Behind the Wheel and Beyond

By Garr Van Slooten

Is it possible the stress and anxiety inherent in driving could be reduced to almost nothing and even transformed into a positive force?

Can you imagine driving on the freeway and not only being at peace with the traffic but actually feeling gratitude toward it?

Whether you're a total newbie who's never touched a steering wheel or a seasoned driver with decades of experience, The Road to Calm: Mastering Stress Behind the Wheel and Beyond will guide you toward mastering the stressors of the road. Drawing from thousands of hours spent shoulder to shoulder with students, driving school owner and instructor Garr Van Slooten offers a rare insider's perspective on the psychology of driving.

Inside these pages, you'll discover:

Practical techniques to smooth out your turns, master merging, and handle intersections with confidence

Proven strategies for dealing with aggressive drivers, tailgaters, and road rage-without losing your cool

The surprising secret to turning red lights into moments of meditation and freeways into a "Bob Ross river of cars"

A powerful mindset shift that transforms driving from a source of anxiety into a workshop for finding serenity in all of life

But this book goes beyond the road. The same principles that calm your driving will calm your life-at work, at home, and everywhere in between. The roads will not only become more manageable; they'll become a powerful tool for finding peace and serenity...everywhere.

Does this seem like a tall order for such a small book? Hop in, turn the key, and drive down the delightful, winding curves of these pages. You'll not only enjoy the ride; you'll marvel at your destination.
