I have taken to self-improvement now that I am in my early thirties and can see for myself the negative impact that stress can have on your life. I consider myself lucky because I am young enough to learn new techniques and go to treatments.For my father in his sixties, that's not exactly the case - and that's where this book comes in.I really felt like my dad could benefit from counseling and meditation, but he remained stuck in his ways no matter what.I picked up this book because I enjoyed the idea of relating life's problems with road signs, and I knew my dad is a complete car enthusiast.He absolutely loves it.The book introduces each road sign with an overview of the actual meaning of the sign (my dad says "Well, I knew that.." after every introduction) and then moves right in to how it relates to problems or situations we experience in life (to which he says "Well, I guess I didn't know that..").After reading it with him, I agree that it's a wonderful book that uses simple, everyday imagery to communicate sometimes complex situations.I think it's a great way to introduce self-help to someone who might be a little resistant.Great idea and perfect buy for my family.
