Driving On the Sunny Side With 10,000 Strangers: Celebrating The Lives of My Uber/Lyft Riders

They call Jeff Hoenig "The Sunshine Man." That moniker has been well-earned-Jeff has driven more than ten thousand individuals over the past five years in his bright orange car. As an Uber and Lyft driver, Jeff strives to make people's lives a little bit brighter, starting the moment they step into the car with him. While the job might make many feel a modicum of cynicism (if nothing else, from road rage) Jeff maintains a contagiously upbeat outlook.

In Jeff's eyes, when people participate in a common activity like driving, they have the opportunity for an uncommonly beautiful experience-if they have the right people to share it with. The book includes side-splitting laughter, persistent kindness, and outright fun for readers of all ages. For those looking for a bit more hope and levity in their next read, Jeff's excellent debut is sure to deliver.

Jeff Hoenig spent most of his life in New Jersey, where he met his wife of forty years, and raised three terrific kids. His job has always taken him on the road, including work as a driver and circulation manager for USA Today and Auto Trader magazine. After downsizing and moving to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina Jeff began driving for Uber and Lyft in 2018. Jeff views the joy and levity he brings to his riders as an important part of the service he offers. Jeff is grateful for his work, and that he is able to have the most fun out of any driver on the East Coast.
