THE JOY OF UBER DRIVING
Book ID/图书代码： 13566019C00004
English Summary/英文概要： Yamini Redewill is an Uber driver in San Francisco―one of a growing number of rideshare drivers around the world. What makes her unique is that she’s a seventy-nine-year-old single woman who views her Uber driving as a form of spiritual practice!
The Joy of Uber Driving chronicles the unexpected corkscrew twists and turns Redewill encounters on the road to love and happiness. How could she know that all those fabulous dreams she cherished as a younger woman were just illusions on the way to reality and would vanish like dust in the wind? But ultimately, her wild ride through life―which includes obsessive love on Catalina; sex, drugs, and alcohol in Hollywood; eleven years of celibacy in Buddhism, and Tantric sex and spirituality in India―helps her wend her way to her authentic self and to creative fulfillment in the winter of her life. In The Joy of Uber Driving, Redewill shares the wisdom that comes from living a full life of heart-centered passion, as well as the self-awareness that has allowed her to be the happy, confident, creative, and young “old broad” she now finds herself to be.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 一個女人在她78歲的高齡時擔任Uber司機，展開一趟關於愛與幸福的追尋之旅，本書是她載運過的乘客故事，也是她的人生故事，充滿了令人無法預料的轉折，融合了幽默、溫暖、悲傷、洞察和靈感啟發。
如果她不是曾經經歷過，她又怎麼知道所有那些她年輕時汲汲追求的狂野幻想都只是現實的折射，終將如塵埃消失在風中呢？
然而最終，她狂放的人生旅程－－包含她在聖卡塔利娜島的一段深刻戀情；在好萊塢的性愛、嗑藥和酒精；十一年持戒的佛教徒生活，以及在印度的冥想性愛和靈修－－終於引領她在迎來人生的冬天時找到了內在真實的自我和真正的滿足。
在本書中，Redewill分享了她的智慧，來自她以全心全意的熱情度過的人生，以及她的自我覺察如何使她成為一個快樂、自信、充滿創造力、年輕的「old broad」。
