CHL gives you inspiration for being spiritual, it doesn't spell out a
/derekh/. You can't learn from CHL pragmatics of what to do about it.
It's like the chapters in MY that introduce each middah without the
chapters on how to develop it or detract from it.

R' Avraham ben haRambam's mussar (HMLOH) does spell out a derekh.

Tir'u baTov!
