A wise and practical quickstart guide for anyone who wants-or already has-a spiritual teacher.
The User's Guide to Spiritual Teachers is a necessary book for anyone who has, or wants to have, a spiritual teacher-regardless of faith or tradition. This book addresses concerns that many of us have on the spiritual path, including how to find a spiritual teacher, how to manage expectations about what they can do, and what to do when you realize you're in a dangerous relationship with one. Spiritual teachers of all traditions will themselves find this book incredibly useful as they reflect on how they benefit their students or may be overstepping their boundaries and actually creating harm. This is your place to look for information, inspiration, sanity, and words of caution.
