"In The Uber Psychologist, author, psychologist and Uber driver, Maverick McGovern delivers colorful descriptions of his thought-provoking interactions with more than one hundred riders in the Charlotte area. The brief stories are fascinating. One leads to another and another, and I found it hard to stop reading, reminding me of eating potato chips; you just want more! McGovern's examination of the Stoic philosophy and how one can practice its Virtues demonstrates how attitude can affect powerful changes in how a person meets whatever challenges they have to face in life, from the tragic to the annoying and everything in between. As he states in the book, adversity is simply an opportunity to practice one's virtues."
