Welcome to another episode of Inside Personal Growth. Joining me today is “The Less Stress Doc” himself, Dr. Gary Sprouse featuring his book Highway to Your Happy Place: A Roadmap to Less Stress.

Gary has been a primary care physician on the Eastern Shore of Maryland for over 30 years. He is a member of the American Medical Association, president of Queen Anne’s Medical Society, and MENSA. He has dedicated most of his professional career to treating patients with chronic pain and substance abuse addictions. Gary also is extremely passionate about bringing happiness into the lives of those he serves through humor, compassion, and understanding. He continually entertains his office and nursing home patients with elaborate Halloween and karaoke costumes, such as Elton John or Pitbull.

Gary has spent over two decades researching better ways to heal the mind and body of his patients, which has led him to writing a book. This book entitled Highway to Your Happy Place: A Roadmap to Less Stress was released on September 2023 and addresses the feelings of worry, guilt, regret, boredom, low self-esteem and overwhelm in an easy-format as Dr. Gary hopes he can help its readers find a more peaceful state of mind with his tricks and tools.
