Driven to Listen: Life Through the Eyes of a Taxi Driver is a heartfelt, funny, and deeply human collection of true to life stories from the front seat of a taxi in Norwich, England.
From late night confessions and messy breakups to quiet conversations about love, loss, illness, hope, and second chances, Amoros R takes readers behind the wheel of a job where strangers often reveal their most private truths. Each passenger brings a different story, and each short journey becomes a window into the complexity, beauty, and fragility of everyday life.
With warmth, humour, and compassion, Amoros reflects on British nightlife, cross cultural encounters, emotional hospital rides, and three life changing years driving autistic children to specialist schools across the Norfolk countryside. Along the way, he meets remarkable people. Teachers, doctors, farmers, students, grieving parents, and dreamers, all leaving small but powerful marks on his journey.
This is not just a book about taxi driving. It is a book about listening, connection, resilience, and the quiet moments that remind us we are never as alone as we think.
Honest, uplifting, sometimes heartbreaking, and often laugh out loud funny, Driven to Listen is a celebration of human stories and the unexpected lessons we learn from strangers who sit beside us, if only for a few miles.
Perfect for readers who enjoy real life storytelling, emotional journeys, and books that make you laugh, reflect, and see the world a little differently after the final page.
