From AudioFile

This is an outstanding production aimed at helping drivers to eliminate aggressive or assaultive driving. The narrators make the point that destructive road conflicts can be avoided by learning how to relax, how to reduce anger, how to accept frustration, and how to maintain self-control. Dramatizations throughout the program are well done and timely, though some are exaggerated to the point of being silly. But the program's intentions– to help the listener reduce angry driving and reactions to angry driving–are realized well enough to make it a nice gift for the aggressive driver you know.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Peaceful Drivers will end up saving lives., July 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Peaceful Driver: Steering Clear of Road Rage (Audio Cassette)

I'll be very honest. I've done my share of aggressive driving. But, for the most part, I didn't know what was causing such aggressiveness. After listening to this program, I now realize that I can be in control of my emotions and "shift gears" therefore becoming a "Peaceful Driver". This very well done piece of audio literature has made me aware of very simple techniques that I can follow in order to get to my destination safely. I have also learned that sometimes the best reaction is not to react to the behavior of other drivers.

Without being religious or "churchy" this program teaches very basic affirmations that will help anyone stay focused on his or her number one goal: to get from point "A" to point "B" safely.

I believe that The Peaceful Driver will end up saving lives. And one of those lives could be yours, mine, or the life of a loved one. This audio program is very well scripted, and it really hits home. We are all at risk of becoming victims of road rage. This program has taught me how to minimize the potential of becoming another statistic. I highly recommend it.

4.0 out of 5 stars I believe this tape can help aggressive drivers, July 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Peaceful Driver: Steering Clear of Road Rage (Audio Cassette)

This tape can definitely help an aggressive driver that wants to change his or behavior. I liked the humorous "commercials" that seemed to balance the practical and spiritual guidance. All in all, a good (but different) mix of secular and spiritual ideas. Like chicken soup, it can't hurt.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE MORE I LISTENED, THE MORE I LIKED IT, September 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Peaceful Driver: Steering Clear of Road Rage (Audio Cassette)

The Peaceful Driver grows on you. The more I listened to it, the more it made me think about the way I was relating to other drivers. It also helped to keep me more calm out of the car too. I would recommend it.
