The Mindful Traveler

The author gives practical advice on how to get along with your travelmates, how to care for your possessions, how to avoid ill health and how to meet people. Using your Buddha, your "spontaneous self", you will enliven your way, renew and enrich yourself and others. Learn how to capture your thoughts on the run and add insight to them when more time is available.

Each chapter begins with short reflections in the form of quotes. I favor these appetizers for the intellect. They may change your perspective, provide another viewpoint and help you reach your goal. Some chapters have these quotes interspersed throughout and some have cartoons that always bring at least a smile, if not a good belly laugh.

Enhance your life along with your travel. Take what you want and can and put aside what needs to be studied further. The Mindful Traveler is a good companion to have on your path - a bridge for your outer and inner worlds.
