THE WAY OF THE TRAVELER

Harried frequent fliers probably don't consider travel a spiritual journey, but Dispenza, a former monk, does. He offers tips for leaving (tape your goals inside your suitcase), enjoying the trip and your companions, and returning refreshed and transformed. Three readers aren't necessitated by the script; they do, however, provide variety. They seem to have been chosen for the soothing quality of their voices, though one might find de Cuir's sections cloying. If you're interested in exploring the Zen aspects of common experience, you'll enjoy this relaxing and thought-provoking antidote to today's stressful travel.
