You might ask, with all that is competing for your time and finances, why would I check this book out and consider passing it along to others? Here are 5 reasons why:
1)     It’s a quick, easy read. At just over 100 pages and written in a conversational style, it’s perfect for our busy lives
2)     Small changes in perspectives and habits can make a big difference in our happiness, health, and harmony with others. We’d all like to feel less anxious and more at peace. That’s what this book is all about.
3)     Life is expensive, but this book is not. At just under $10 for the paperback (and less than $6 for the Kindle version), it’s barely the cost of a morning trip to Starbucks.
4)     Whether or not you have ever biked or run a day in your life, this book is for you. Every single chapter applies to every person on any given day (and parents, it’s meant to be shared with your kids, too)
5)     We are all traveling in this journey of life together. This book provides some simple ideas of how we can unite more along the way.
Ultimately, this book is part of a larger mission to increase the happiness, health, and harmony of individuals and our community.
1)Â Â Â Â Â Pass the book and this information along to anyone that you think might be interested and benefit from it.
2)     Beyond friends/families, consider taking this book to various groups that you are a part of. Whether it is a book club, fellowship group in your faith community, work group at your place of employment, or athletic team/extra-curricular club, the easy to read and widely applicable format of this book makes it a great catalyst for discussion and growth. For those interested in buying in bulk, there is a reduced rate available. Please contact me at this email or jimandamyschroeder@gmail.com.
3)     If you are on social media, share the information through Facebook and Instagram (and any other outlet). In anticipation of the official book launch, there is already information about the book and the mission on Facebook/Instagram, including advanced praise from readers who have already checked it out. It can be found on Facebook at @jschroeder133 and Instagram at @jschroeder133
4)     Reviews on Amazon are a great way to promote the book. It has been shown that even a single positive review can be the difference between individuals purchasing it book or not. Our goal is 100 reviews by the end of September. Consider spending five minutes even to post a review on Amazon. This can be done even if you haven’t purchased the book off Amazon.
For any self-published book, individuals like yourself are truly the hands, feet, and voice that make it possible to be disseminated on a wide scale. Otherwise, few people will ever get a chance to part of this collective mission in this unique way.

Synopsis Of His Book
In the Spring of 2007, I pulled into an intersection in St. Louis after the light turned green. Suddenly, a van crashed into the side of my car. Although I fortunately emerged unharmed, our once reliable vehicle was totaled. With finances limited, and a friend encouraging me to consider public transportation, I started busing to work despite many reservations. A short time after relocating back home, I replaced most of my bus rides with bike and run commutes. For well over a decade, even with up to 8 kids and a very busy practice, most days began and ended in a motorless fashion.
On the surface, my commuting life was great for fitness, finances, stress relief, productivity, and the environment among many other gains. Gradually, it became an adventure full of trials and triumphs, one replete with lessons of everyday life—-not just for those who chose to commute this way, but for all of us. Through the blazing sun, torrential downpours, and frigid, dark mornings, the lessons kept coming just as miles did, too.
Confessions of a Carless Commuter: What 40,000+ Motorless Miles Taught Me About Life is a brief, frank compilation of these insights. Stories on the road are intertwined with lessons of the mind, heart, and soul; each of the lessons are part of a larger fabric of life driven by purpose, awe, and love. It’s where the revelations and revolutions begin
