Many successful people are thwarted by habits they cannot change. These behavior problems run the gamut: weight loss, exercise, making a budget and sticking to it, stress and anger management, destructive relationship and communication patterns, and the list goes on.
In The Roadmap we meet one such woman named Jo, a 40-something wife, mother, and newly promoted sales manager as she confronts the harsh reality that she is a control freak (referred to in polite company as a “micromanager”).
Willpower Is Never Enough
Jo’s predicament is familiar to many wise and otherwise happy adults. She can choose to pretend that her controlling ways don’t really cost her that much or figure out how to change them. Even if she really wants to change, just wanting to transform behavior and “Just doing it” are not solutions. The fact is that permanent behavior change remains a distant dream for well over 90% of those who try to achieve it. There must be another way, but how?
Choosing the Road Less Traveled
Even before she fully grasps the challenge in front of her, a mysterious old leather book called The Roadmap finds its way into Jo’s hands. It describes a novel and non-prescriptive approach to lasting behavior change. Should she trust it?
Deliberately taking a risk, Jo follows The Roadmap and learns to read the “road signs” on life’s highway. She successfully identifies the numerous situations where her current behavior pattern leads her off course. Is she in position to choose a different route to her behavior change “destination?”
Fuel for the 21st Century
Instead of repeating her pattern and bulldozing the obstacles in her path, Jo discovers an alternative to willpower—a sustainable fuel called Steadiness—that anyone can learn. By practicing one Steadiness ingredient at a time she prepares for a trip that has the potential to permanently change her behavior. Could these be the keys to lasting habit change and lifelong freedom?
Join Us
You are invited to come along for the ride as Jo faces true-to-life situations at work with her new salespeople, at home with her family, on the road with her fellow managers, and at the neighborhood park with her friends. Watching her navigate the twists and turns of an unfamiliar road might yield surprising benefits—the power to fuel your own story about lasting change!

Statutory right to withdraw
You have the right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days without giving any reason.

To exercise the right of withdrawal, electronically fill in and submit a clear statement on our website, under "My Purchases" in "My Account". We will communicate to you an acknowledgement of receipt of such a withdrawal on a durable medium (e.g. by e-mail) without delay.
To meet the withdrawal deadline, it is sufficient for you to send your communication concerning your exercise of the right of withdrawal before the withdrawal period has expired.
Effects of withdrawal
If you withdraw from this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us).
We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you.
We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to withdraw from this contract.
We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of such reimbursement.
