Rating: 5 stars
Summary: What a joy
Review: I concur with an earlier reviewer. This book will teach you about zen--not what it is, but how to embody it, which is what matters.
After applying the principles in this book to a 1,300-mile drive, I now see the possibilities of zen and meditation in all areas of life, not just driving. What I only understood intellectually before, I now feel in my body.

I cannot recommend this book highly enough.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Surprisingly practical!
Review: I read this over 10 years ago, when it was first published. At first glance I thought it was a joke, but there's actually some very sound, practical advice on how to keep your cool in traffic - and in this day and age of "road rage," it's more relevant than ever. And besides all that - it's very well written and just plain fun to read!

Summary: The Anti-Road-Rage Manual
Review: Such timeliness for a book first published a dozen years ago! This should be handed out in Drivers' Ed courses across the country. The premise is simple: stay aware of your surroundings, don't let expectations distract you, and enjoy the ride. Stop thinking about driving and just drive. Sound advice in all aspects of life.

Summary: Unexpectedly surprised
Review: This book vividly achieves something it probably never intended to do: offer the simplest, clearest explanation of Zen philosophy that I've read yet. While other authors overexert themselves in hopelessly convoluted terms and impenetrable analogies to try to explain the essence of Zen to their readers, Berger lays out its meaning in understandble terms by applying the principles of Zen to something that all of us can relate to--driving. And by not even trying to exlpain Zen at all, he does a masterful job--a true example of wu-wei in action!

Oh, and observing the practice in this book would make for roadways with a lot less stress and "road rage." These principles behind the wheel then can be easily applied to other apsects of life, thus creating not just more mindful drivers but a more mindful society as a whole.

A quick, entertaining and enlightening read.
