Summary: New Age BS
Comment: The stories in this book have a distinctly new age mysticism and eastern religious lean to them. Too many Zen "one hand clapping" types of stories for my taste and not enough TRAVEL.

Summary: True Stories of Transformation and the Soul
Comment: I didn't intend to buy this book, but (I swear) it jumped off a bookshelf and into my hands. Yes, it is true, I paid full price in a real world bookstore. The perils of impulse buying are rewarded sometimes by treasures. This book has chapter after chapter of interesting articles by a variety of travelers who find some spiritual message in their journeys. Amazon leaves out the part of the chapter that makes this sound like a spiritual book ("transformation", "soul"), calling it True Stories of Life on the Road, but I have the book in my hands, and the title is as shown above. There is no 'new age' feeling to the stories, nor are there tons of meetings with angels. Instead, there are true, perhaps slightly odd, stories of encounters with one's own inner being, through travel experiences. Each chapter is by a different, often well-known traveler or writer - the writing is of an excellent quality. In one chapter, a man far away from his wife through miles and emotional connection has a frightening event and calls his wife. But before he can tell her the details, she tells him of a dream she had. Her dream is not an exact rendition of his event, but so close that it is clear they were connected. Other stories may tell of spiritual adventures, ventures that changed a life, or life, death, worship practices in other lands.

Summary: wonderful wonderful wonderful
Comment: There's so much in this book, it could be called Spirituality 101 except that would imply dryness and this book is anything but--a really terrific collection of stories about travel and the soul.
