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.

Drawing on his experience as a monk, lecturer, and co-founder of a holistic healing institute, Joseph Dispenza helps readers understand that all travel is a sacred journey to self-discovery. Dispenza encourages readers to keep a journal of feelings, sketch what they see, and transform themselves in other ways to enrich their lives, whether they are going overseas or just across town. “The book … consists of essays, meditations and practical exercises; each chapter is graced with evocative photos and incisive quotations…. ” — Armchair Traveler

From Publishers Weekly
In That’s a Keeper!: Reflections on Life from a Bass Fisherman, H. Norman Wright provides pithy reflections on God, fishing and the spiritual life. The writing can be awkward at times and some of the messages hackneyed (you’ve got to be persistent; anger and fishing don’t mix; older is better), but he also reels in some more valuable insights. Wright’s meditation on the “accomplishments” of fishing, for example, serves as an important reminder in this fast-paced world that achievements aren’t everything. Sometimes, he points out, wasting time is not a waste of time.

New York Times editorial page director Raines combines memoir and angling odyssey.

From Library Journal
A native Southerner, New York Times editor, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, and lifelong angler, Raines came to fly fishing in his forties. Like Hemingway and Norman Maclean, he uses it as an extended metaphor for coming to terms with aging. He progresses from the “Redneck Way of Fishing” for quantity and meat to “Dick Blalock’s Way.” Blalock, his friend and mentor, taught him that fly fishing is about attitude and friendship, not about catching fish. As Raines traces his progress, he sketches many giants in the still-young history of American fly fishing, endorses the catch-and-release philosophy, and comes to accept death’s place in life. This is a literate, contemplative celebration of life and friendship by one who has learned to enjoy both. Recommended for biography as well as sports collections in public and academic libraries.

More than just a collection of fishing quotes, this year’s worth of angling inspiration offers smart advice and ideas for daily resolutions. Here’s the entry for June 16, in part: "Fish run in schools; so do fishermen. Catch a trout where nobody has thought of looking for them…. Go down a path of your own choosing." But don’t worry, this isn’t another one of those fascist, saccharin-sweet self-improvement schemes. Hence November 1: "Relax. You don’t have to feel inspired today."

Anglers are meditative by nature and patient in their pursuits. They are united by a love of colorful fishing lore and the great outdoors. The Angler’s Book of Daily Inspiration combines practical advice, folk wisdom, and motivational thoughts for lovers of this solitary and often frustrating sport. Contributors include Mark Twain, Ernest Hemingway, Norman MacLean, John Gierach, and others. Each of the 366 entries features an inspirational quotation, a discussion of a related topic, and an affirmation to put into practice for better fishing every day of the year.
