Roadsigns: Navigating Your Path to Spiritual Happiness - Hardcover

"This is one of the wisest books to appear in recent years about the perils and promises routinely encountered by all spiritual seekers. At a time in history when people are desperately grasping for security and certainty, Roadsigns is an invaluable contribution from a wise spiritual teacher. Beautifully written and insightful, Roadsigns deserves to become a classic in the spiritual literature of our day."
--Larry Dossey, M.D., author of Healing Words, Reinventing Medicine, and Healing Beyond the Body

"Phil Goldberg offers us a deeply wise and practical vision of the spiritual journey. Drawing on the metaphors of travel, he guides us through the paradoxes of inner experience we all encounter. This is a wonderfully useful book."
--Wayne Teasdale, author of A Monk in the World: Cultivating a Spiritual Life

Suppose you came to an intersection and found two traffic cops, each pointing in a different direction. Imagine asking for assistance and hearing, "Turn right at the next light, or maybe left. It depends." Suppose that each time you received advice, well-meaning bystanders jumped in with contradictory opinions: "Go straight for two miles." "No, six." "You're both crazy, it's that way!" "Don't listen to them. My way is the only way." Imagine that when you asked certain questions, you were told, "Sorry, that is unknowable."
--from Roadsigns: Navigating Your Path to Spiritual Happiness
