Summary: Noble effort but disappointing
Review: (From Planeta.com Journal) - I wish my first impression were more favorable, since the author's intentions are so noble. Dispenza attempts to put travel into context ("life is a journey...") and make better travelers of us all. But something doesn't click. As an example, he uses Hernan Cortes who burned his ships on the coast of Mexico to force his soldiers to forge ahead in the conquest of Mexico. "We are like those bold explorers," Dispenza writes. Perhaps we are, but shouldn't we think about the impact from a local perspective as well?

Summary: Never Again Will You Fall Asleep Behind the Wheel of Life
Review: A "travel guide for the soul," this book is about living consciously during the moments in life when we have the greatest opportunity to redefine our world and ourselves - when we are traveling. I've already given a copy as a gift.

We all know "getting away from it all" is a great time to relax and think - or *not* to think. The Way of the Traveler shows inspiring ways to open your mind and spirit to either think or just "be."

One of the epiphanies in this book for me was how I defined a "journey." After reading The Way, I have reframed even my gridlocked commute during rush hour into a more relaxing experience. It has reframed my "schlep through the front door" into more of a "homecoming."

Dispenza's "Way" is light reading with a deep message (and its compact size fits into my carry-on luggage!).

Summary: Don't miss this journey with Joseph Dispenza as your guide!
Review: All of my life I have been passionate about traveling. The Way of the Traveler opened my eyes as to how I can truly make my traveling adventures a deeply sacred and transformative journey. The metaphor of the hero's journey is weaved through out the book which adds a cross cultural and archetypal richness that allows one to transcend time and space. Dispenza offers invaluable insights for making even a business trip a powerful ritual of self discovery. Seasoned travelers as well as the armchair traveler will find this gem of a book a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend this book!

Summary: Enlightening! Where's my suitcase?
Review: Although it's small, this book really made me think. The holidays don't have to be stressful. This year, when the family gets together I'll be carrying "love, patience, and stop at one helping allright already!" (Although that wasn't one of Mr. Dispenzer's suggestions.) I've decided I'm going to try building an altar in my hotel room and really try to celebrate the joy that comes from connecting with family. I said "try." I thought the book was well written and I'm going to give them as gifts.

Summary: A return to the sacred
Review: Dispenza's book is a work of art. He takes an experience that has become common place, commercialized, functional and often sterile, and returns it to us in sacred context. Even though this book is about travel it is so much more. It is filled with joy, excitement and love. In his book Joseph miraculously turns travel into a soul journey, an odyssey. He makes one feel like an adventurer. He reminds us that the world is still full of new and wondrous experiences - and he's right; it is. In his book he shows us how to recognize and claim these experiences.
This book is full of delightful ideas that will make your travel easier and far more rewarding. Joseph has shown us a way to easily turn travel into an unforgettable journey. It will positively change the way you approach travel, whether you're an anthropologist headed to the Amazon Basin or businessperson headed to Cincinnati, Ohio. Whether we travel or not - we are all on a journey. A real gem and a "must read" for everyone.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I was inspired!
Review: I guess, based on one reader's comments, that some think that travel is just about the photos you bring home or a big adventures to boast about. My friend gave me this book to help prepare for a trip to South America I'm taking this Spring. It's the most adventurous thing I've ever done and this book really is helping me let go of fear and open my heart. Thanks Beth for giving me this book!

Summary: Indispensable! Traveling Will Never Be the Same
Review: 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!

Summary: Wow! Amazing Book!
Review: I was given this book for Christmas and did not read it until after the holidays. What a bible of information. I am definitely going to give this to my mother, daughter and some friends that I know will benefit by these words of wisdom. I certainly am now a fan of Mr. Joseph Dispenza and will read other books he has written. Hopefully, he will continue to write and help us deal with life!
