A Calmer Commute

My mother clipped an article for from a recent Reader's Digest entitled "A Calmer Commute." It's a short article but really captures the essence of what we're trying to do with LearnOutLoud. Since I can't find an online version of the article, here are a couple of passages:

No wonder road rage grips America's highways. While the average commute is 26 minutes, some 3.4 million of us clock 90 minutes or more each way.

Wow...3.4 million people who spend an hour and a half commuting each way!

The article goes on to mention safer ways to spend your commute than talking on a cell phone. Here's one of them:

Improve your mind - Listen to the latest James Patterson thriller on CD or choose a business tome, such as T. Harv Eker's new Secrets of the Millionaire Mind. You could also learning to speak Italian. Berlitz's Rush Hour Series offers many languages.

Cool. We have Secrets of the Millionaire Mind up on our site here as well as many titles from Berlitz.

Improving your mind is indeed a fantastic way to spend your commute. Look no further than our catalog for almost 7,000 ways to do so. :)
