The Mark Soloman 'Black Cab Wisdom' is a compilation of quotes, tips and tricks given from the back of a London taxi driver's cab.
Started entirely spontaneously, Soloman started asking his passengers "whats some advice you could give me?" or whether they had any thoughts to share in general. Soloman then decided to put a clipboard in the back seat so passengers could share however much they wanted. Though initially keeping these nuggets of wisdom to himself, the best were posted onto his blog 'Black Cab Quotes' everyday, and then found their way into the pages of his book 'Black Cab Wisdom'.
A product of sheer spontaneity and happiness, this book is great for anybody looking for some inspiration for their life.
