A Worthwhile Journey

I enjoyed going on the journey with Dan Millman in "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior".
It opened my eyes and reminded me of a possibility that exists for us all.

After "accidentally" meeting his enlightened teacher, Socrates, at an all night gas station, Dan embarks on an amazing voyage that leads to his discovery of a gentle yet profound state of being where there are no ordinary moments.

Dan had been an unsatisfied striver, doer, competitor ( world class athelete) and complainer before his world was shaken up by this extraordinary man.

In most cultures, we humans are conditioned to strive for the future, have regrets about the past & for the most part, blame circumstances outside ourselves for what is happening in our lives. Getting caught up with this "way of being" has become a lifestyle that's robbing us of the magic, the intimacy and the intensity of the current, perfect, moment of now - and, as Dan found out, the place where satisfaction truly lives.

"How to Create a magical Relationship", by Ariel and Shya Kane, is another book that gently nudged me into exploring the magical realm of living in the present moment. It's a series of short stories where people's lives instantaneously transform while speaking with the Kanes. I got so much value after reading these two books!

Enjoyable and enlightening.....but, please take your time!

I definitely enjoyed reading this book and its many different insights. I'm a notoriously slow reader and the pages still flew by.....but I actually think I went too fast. If you do decide to read this book, I would highly recommend taking a deep breath after 30 or so pages just to sit back and soak in the story and its meaning. There really are a lot of concepts thrown to you at once and it only makes sense to take the time to understand their impact. There's no doubt I will read this again (I'm going through the sequel right now) and will make it a point to slow down a bit.

There were some parts of the book that really hit home for me and others that seems a little "bit much", but, overall, I thought the presentation was done well. Near the end of the book I was a little bit diappointed at how fast the author decribes his life events after college; I guess I was just expecting more meaningful discussion about what he went through. (EDIT: Some of the "holes" are filled in by his other books)

I'm looking forward to seeing the movie adaptation just to compare how Millman's Socate's character translates to the big screen. The most important question I ask myself after I read this book is: "Do I feel that it made an impact (big or small) in my life?" I would definitely say "yes" just for mere idea that past and future are simply subtle barriers that can impede our progress today.

Best Book Since C.C.

My journey into reading books in this genre started with Carlos Castaneda and this book was the best book I read after his writings. If anyone hasn't read Castaneda, I suggest you start with The Teachings of Don Juan: A Yaqui Way of Knowledge in which details are given of Shamanic knowledge and experiences.

The entire "Peaceful Warrior" series allows the reader to journey with the narrator into experiences of spiritual transformation. I had originally read the "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" in my teens and found great inspiration in it then and now with more life experience I can understand certain experiences presented in the book even better. The book does change lives as the subtitle says and I've bought copies of this book for friends in my circle.

I also recommend Nexus: A Neo Novel, which is the best book I've read since Dan Millman. All these books are amazing for spiritual seekers and we can let our friends know about these amazing books...and so change lives.

Fun, light and eye opening

I enjoyed reading Dan Millman's book very much because through a fun and engaging character he exposes the reader to universal teachings. I found myself turning the pages to learn more and also found myself in many of them. I learned that one can train how to be unreasonably happy and is the ultimate goal of the spiritual warrior who discovers its true nature. I found reading this book a very simple way of accessing my inner peace and finding humor in my life as well. Millman opened my eyes to what a miracle life is and his book has found a permanent place on my bookshelf.

In a similar way, Ariel and Shya Kane's book How To Create a Magical Relationship has eye opening, enlightening stories. By way of their transformation principles they give us a new perspective on relationships, including the one we have with ourselves. The Kanes have a very practical approach that can be used in everyday situations, in which life gets light, fun and magical. I highly recommend them. Their books are pearls of wisdom.
