Description

Back in 2010, research scientist and entrepreneur Ran Zilca set out from his home in New York on a motorcycle, bound for California in search of the next chapter in his life. Along this soul-searching journey, he spent hundreds of hours in contemplation on the road, met with fellow travelers from all walks of life, and interviewed leading experts in research labs, spiritual centers, and temples all across the country. Six-thousand miles later, he returned home, sold his company, and moved to a different continent. Ride of Your Life chronicles this transformative journey, sharing the collective wisdom Ran learned from one-on-one discussions with spiritual leaders and researchers, including Deepak Chopra, Phil Zimbardo, and Sonja Lyubomirsky. This groundbreaking book in the field of positive psychology is part travel memoir, part spiritual compass, and a practical handbook for personal transformation. Ride of Your Life will help you awaken your dreams and answer your own calling for a happier and more meaningful life.

Ride of Your Life is available in both print and ebook formats.

Advance Praise

"Ran Zilca's Ride of Your Life guide is a rare collection of scientifically-sound advice fused with unique spiritual experiences, which is bound to lead you into a transformative journey through life." - Deepak Chopra

"Ride of Your Life is a cross between Gretchen Rubin's The Happiness Project and the Dalai Lama's The Art of Happiness. Ran Zilca has carved out a whole new literary genre--the positive psychology travel memoir. Some people will read this book for its wisdom and insights, others will read it for the scientist interviews, but regardless of specific interest, anyone who reads this book will be sowing seeds of change, finishing it as a slightly different person than before he/she started." - Sonja Lyubomirsky, Ph.D., author of The Myths of Happiness

"From the stories that my coaching clients share with me, I see how life offers a wealth of outstanding opportunities to those who answer the call of the road. Ran Zilca's story provides a remarkable glance into the internal world of man who decided to answer the call. His beautiful book will make you laugh, cry, reflect, and awaken your dreams, inspiring you to answer your own call and go on the Ride of Your Life." - Caroline Adams Miller, MAPP, author of Creating Your Best Life

"In this enjoyable read you'll befriend Ran Zilca during his soul-searching life transformation and find yourself resonating with his fears, his yearnings, and his well-earned insights. A fresh offering within the positive psychology genre, beguilingly effective for its diary format." - Barbara L. Fredrickson, Ph.D., author of Positivity and Love 2.0 and Director of the Positive Emotions and Psychophysiology Lab at UNC-Chapel Hill

I really enjoyed this book, and wish that I had the courage to take up and go like the author did. Traveling cross-country, using the long hours on the road to just meditate on life and what is really important. And to supplement the journey with side trips to visit and pick the brains of other philosophers and "spiritual" people. Who knows, maybe someday?
