About this listen

This audio edition of the international best seller Way of the Peaceful Warrior is based on the story of Dan Millman, a world-class gymnast who has it all, but is troubled by a vague sense of dissatisfaction with his everyday life. He meets an eccentric old mentor named Socrates, who sets him on a spiritual odyssey that will ultimately deliver or destroy him. Along the way Dan encounters realms of light and darkness, of romance and magic, as he learns what it means to live as a peaceful warrior.

Way of the Peaceful Warrior is a rare story with the power to transform lives. It conveys piercing truths with drama, heart, and humor and speaks directly to the universal quest for fulfillment and happiness, for finding our place in the world. It is a story for all times that can inspire joy, expand perspectives, and remind us of the deeper truth we already know, that real freedom lies within us right now.

Short but as long as it needed to be

Would you listen to Way of the Peaceful Warrior again? Why?

Yes, because I think there's a depth to it you may not catch the first time.

Have you listened to any of Dan Millman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

No but I read Spirit Laws

Any additional comments?

I understand why he would want to read his own work, another narrator may have been a better choice.

Fearless happiness

To unravel the armor to soften the knots to smooth the mind. In this is the warrior, a practice with no end, a path.

The American Taoist

What did you like best about this story?

After a while, I realised that the entire premise and teachings in this story are pretty strongly Taoist in nature. A little Buddhist too but much more strongly Taoist.

A subtle introduction into Taoist style philosophy interweaved into American life. Very entertaining.

Holy crap

You've read this story a million times. It existed before it was written and it will be retold afterwards until the end of time. HOWEVER, this specific one resonates and Socrates will forever live in my heart.

Note: this not a robot review, I am a real person with real feelings and dreams. See @rickymendozaorg on Instagram for proof.

Please get this book and get it for the people in your life. Much love. Ricky.

Conscious altering book!

I absolutely loved this book. It has made me think deeper than I believe I have ever had the courage to think. If you can truly listen to this without distraction it should spur you to question reality, or at least, our perception of what this world deems reality to be. Truly one of the most thought provoking, eye opening books I've ever heard/read.
