During his junior year at the University of California, while training to become a world-champion gymnast, Dan Millman stumbled on a 94-year-old mentor nicknamed Socrates, a powerful, unpredictable, and elusive character. He taught a way to maximize performance using a unique blend of Eastern philosophy and Western fitness to cultivate the true essence of a champion - the "way of the peaceful warrior." Millman's first-person account of his odyssey into realms of light, darkness, mind, body, and spirit has since become an international bestseller about the universal quest for happiness.
Way of the Peaceful Warrior is the story of a young man and his personal and spiritual journey. I loved the style and the overall plot of the book. It really changed my look on goals and happiness. 3 years after reading the book, I still use the peaceful warrior exercises every day. Definitely worth checking out.
Amazing journey of strength and courage. I think the real word for this book is "meekness". Power under pressure, is what meekness is for me. Here you have a guy with just about unlimited potential. Physical, mental and otherwise. But through the sage advice and commentary of his mentor, you really see his character development into a "young buck" to a mature, inspiring man. Great book to send to a college grad, or grandpa for Christmas. I think this lesson of willpower and headstrong determination, but at the same time, manly meekness is exactly what we need as a country, exactly what young people need to read and see as normal. Beautifully written, you won't forget it.
