WOW! This book was phenomenal. I was so taken aback by how beautifully done this was. So many wonderful insights and suggestions. I loved it! Well done.

Okay, I may not be the "target audience" for Take The Wheel but look, the title and the description really grabbed me and the book definitely did not disappoint. The authors, Tommy and Bryan, come across as 'real' guys with absolutely no agenda aside from wanting others to be happy and healthy, inside and out. They're not trying to sell you anything....aside from the book obviously... and that was perhaps the biggest surprise of the book.
While this is a self-help book written for men, everything in it applies to all humans. Every chapter begins with a quote and quite a few end with an exercise to try - nothing scary, I promise. The authors communicate in a clear and concise manner and come across as friends, not gurus or shrinks or know-it-alls.
I love that the authors address the problem of getting caught up in fear-based news programs in a very rational way. It's definitely a problem that I see in my community on a daily basis and I feel that the advice to just stop watching it is a great idea.
Thank you to NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book. I hope it gets the attention and recognition that it deserves.

This was a great book. I enjoyed reading it. Not only was it clearly written, but it allowed me to see some of my issues in a new and clearer light. Under stress? YOu deserve to read this one.

Take the Wheel offers practical advice for embarking on a journey of self-awareness, with reminders that encourage reflection. Though it’s full of exercises—which isn’t my usual style—the book’s insights were worth the read.

The authors start with a focus on quieting outside chaos and taking control of our thoughts. They suggest that finding peace begins with tuning out the noise within, almost like giving your mind a chance to recharge.

One of the best parts for me was the concept of the “Inner Sage”—trusting our intuition and letting it guide us while the mind handles the background details. It’s like learning to be in the moment, soaking up where you are without getting caught up in past regrets or future worries.

I also liked their advice on “Emotional Boulders.” Instead of dragging around old baggage, they encourage looking at painful memories, then letting them go.

Overall, Take the Wheel is filled with solid insights. It’s especially good if you’re into reflective exercises, but even without them, the reminders here are valuable.
