The Way of the Traveler: Making Every Trip a Journey of Self-Discovery (Paperback)

by Joseph Dispenza (Author)

Editorial Reviews

Review
The day before I was about to take a trip, "The Way of the Traveler" arrived in the mail. Serendipitous, you might say. No indeed, the author Joseph Dispenza would reply. He has trained himself through the study of Jungian psychology and other spiritual disciplines to see every event, however trivial, as a means to gain understanding and insight into one's spiritual life and purpose.

Instead of tossing the book on top of my stack of "to do" materials, I sat down in the morning sunshine and started reading. I am so glad I did! Whether you take many business trips every week, travel once a year to some faraway clime, or never leave your comfortable armchair, "The Way of the Traveler" can be useful.

This book offers us the possibility to live more credibly, whether we're traveling or not. But certainly when we do hit the road, we are issuing a desire for some sort of transformation, and it's worth considering what that change is or can be.

5.0 out of 5 stars Indispensable! Traveling Will Never Be the Same, October 12, 2001

By	Traveler (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

I loved this books so much I read it 2x. "Way" really hit home and has opened up the idea of spiritual traveling for me. I knew my journeys were revealing something to me, as many a time, my life changed drastically after the get-away and I had a new look on life.
This book put a structure around what I was experiencing. It brought conciousness to those emotions, feelings, and fears.
I like the many excercises and building of a shrine it suggests exploring. I will use this book as a reference book-a guide to my many more life experiences.
Thank you for taking self-discovery to a new level!

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing book, February 27, 2000

By	Raven (San Jose, CA) - See all my reviews

My first book by Joseph Dispenza, but not my last! I loved the information in this book. I could not put in down when I first bought it. I leave it by my bedside and read a passage every morning upon awakening. It's my jump start for the day. I totally encourage everyone to buy and read this book. I am so grateful I bought it and did not leave it on my bookshelf to read "later". Thank you Mr. Joseph Dispenza for such insight into how to handle our lives on this planet......

5.0 out of 5 stars All Life Is A Journey, December 4, 1999

By	Georgelle Hirliman (Santa Fe, New Mexico) - See all my reviews

Though "The Way of the Traveller" is geared to rituals to center one's mind on the beauty and illumination available in every aspect of the journey, from planning to packing to flying/driving/training (as in choo-choo)to returning home and unpacking, it's really speaking to the Life Journey as well...for, from desk to kitchen to the hardware store, life is a journey that deserves constant awareness. This is a small book, light enough to take on any trip, and I heartily recommend it to calm shattered nerves while waiting for flight delays and such annoyances.
