New Moon – New Ebooks on Life Lessons from Motorcycles

by Liz Jansen

Almost two years ago, I published Life Lessons from Motorcycles—12 Principles of Survival. Although I didn’t know it at the time, it was the beginning of my second book: Life Lessons from Motorcycles. Since then, I’ve published many articles on my blog, covering 12 specific Life Lessons topics. These have now been compiled into ebooks, which I’m thrilled to announce are now ready to begin releasing.

They’re published and available for download on your favorite ereader.

Life Lessons from Motorcycles – 75 Tips for Staying in Balance

Who knew that motorcycles had so much to teach us about ourselves? These lessons need to be savored, so rather than release it all at once, I’ll release two chapters per month as their own book – for FREE for a while. Once they’re all out, the complete edition will be available.

Motorcycles are rich with symbolism and metaphors, which they share freely and without judgment. As rich, empowering and exhilarating as that the experience is, there is an even greater transformation going on within us.

Here’s what to expect in the coming months, not necessarily in this order.
