Are there traffic signs on our journey of life, metaphysically speaking? Signs, either verbal or symbolic, that regulate our behavior, that tell us when to yield, when to put more effort into something or, slow down. Signs that warn of of dangers laying ahead or opportunities waiting for us.'Traffic Signs on the Road of Life' by Wilbur & Cynthia Brower makes a case, from a rather religious standpoint, that such signs:1. Exist and for a reason.2. We need to pay more attention to subtle clues and feedbacks to discern those signs.While I do not agree with some things in this book, it is an interesting perspective on how to live a good life and to unshackle one's potential, put in rather original metaphor of traffic signs. I'd like to conclude this review with my favorite passage from the book, 'Barriers to growth and success are like dams. Once removed, the river of growth flows unfettered by the dam that held it back, and the likelihood of success increases.'
