Alan Steelman is a former member of the U.S. Congress, a former member of the White House Staff, and former Vice-Chairman of a global management consulting firm. He is also a certified yoga instructor. In his new book, Yoga on the Yellow Brick Road: Exiting the A.S.A.P. Lane! (Calm Your Mind), he steps out of the realm of business and politics to write on the global epidemic of stress and anxiety. He notes that more were lost to opioid overdoses in 2017 alone than in the combined wars of Vietnam, Afghanistan, and Iraq combined. The obesity rate is soaring as are teen suicide attempts. 

Steelman’s book is dedicated to helping readers escape the anxious, stressed, addicted, and pressured life, and finding calm, balance, and equilibrium. He states that the pace of social and economic change, along with the overall pace of life in the digital age, is too much for many to cope without the use of “false wizards”—pills, alcohol, binge-eating, shopping, etc. In the book, he offers a detailed regimen to equip the reader to exit the lane of anxiety, stress, addiction, and pressure, and improve both their physical and mental health.

According to the author, “We are blessed at birth with natural brain chemicals that we need to lead happy, emotionally balanced lives. Our four feel-good chemicals reside in our brains and are accessible to each of us via the Yellow Brick Road, our breath, and a disciplined practice of yoga and meditation. 

His book, due for release in mid-June, will go on sale at that time on Amazon and on his website, www.alansteelman.net for $27.95. He offers a free phone consultation to any reader to help them find their own custom-tailored regimen.
