But road trips aren’t only about getting in the car and driving off in the sunset. They can also be about looking for change, looking for answers, and clearing the mind.

And that’s really what the book ‘Road Trip Guide to the Soul’ is all about. I can guarantee that by the time you’ve finished reading it and following some of the ideas and action plans, you’ll be feeling as exhilerated as when you got into the car and took off.

One lucky Healthbolt reader will be able to discover this for themselves. The winner of Sadie Nardini’s Road Trip Guide to the Soul is…

So it‘s not surprising that  Sadie Nardini’s book ‘Road Trip Guide to the Soul’ caught my eye. After, the whole premise of the book rested on one of my favorite activities. But once I started reading, I soon realised that this road trip was unlike any other I had taken.

Instead of packing a bag and jumping in a car, it was asking me to unpack, declutter, and remove the roadblocks in my life. Quite a daunting task, if you ask me.

But I was up for the challenge. After all, it was making sense. Life really is like a road trip – it can be good or bad, fun or sad, exciting or scary, adventurous or boring – all depending on how you approach it.

Half way through the book, I suddenly realised that this could turn out to be the biggest, most important road trip of my life. Following this metaphorical road trip had the potential to change my life for the better

As far as self help books go, this one’s a winner. Sounding more like a friend than a self-help advisor, Sadie shares personal anecdotes and advice based on eastern wisdom, western science, and yogic principles.

Remember, travel is not all about the destination. Mostly, it’s about the journey and in this journey Sadie Nardini offers a fun step by step guide to removing roadblocks and re-discovering the adventure of life.

Each chapter highlights pit stops one takes on a road trip, starting with the garage (read excerpt here) and heading on to the gas station, stopping to adjust the mirrors, hitting the carpool lane, and finding the treasure trove. But unlike a real road trip, each of these pit stops offers anecdotes, ideas, and advice on how to revolutionize your life.

You can hear more about these nine steps in Sadie’s own words by watching this series of short videos Sadie has put together.

Sadie (who generously sponsored a Yoga DVD giveaway last year) has offered to give away a copy of ‘Road Trip of the Soul’ to one lucky Healthbolt reader. Just leave a comment and tell us about your best road trip and you could be in to win. This giveaway will run until Thursday 5th Febuary 2009, with the winner announced on Friday 6th February 2009.
