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.

Definitley Valuable

I found Dan's book to be quite good. I became familiar with the materiel from watching the movie starring Nick Nolte. I'm almost hesitant to say that I enjoyed the movie even more. Even though the book has much more content. Definitley a worthwhile listen or read

Mother Died While I Listened

I encountered this book during the death of my Mother to a brain tumor. This was just an indescribably helpful coincidence. Please read this book, and know that it really will change you. Thank you.

Changed my life

Listened to this mid-breakup and it helped me feel powerful and confident rather than helpless and powerless.

I loved this book, saw the movie after reading it and the movie pales in comparison. I spent time studying Bushido, and several different styles of martial arts. I studied several religions trying to find something that made sense to me to no avail.
This book touches on all of those without getting into them. However with the light fictional approach the message that is shared is undeniably powerful.
I highly recommend this for just an enjoyable story, or for a deeper look into the mind set of a peaceful warrior.

Gaps in audio

Millman may not have been the nest choice as narrator, but he holds his own... especially toward the end.
Unfortunately there are several parts where the audio skips a line or paragraph.
Very cool read. Thanks!

A great message, story and lessons.

The book is filled with lessons that I'm sure we can all apply to life at some point or another.

Great book! Amazing story

This book is amazing.

Such a deep and simple story of the amazing characters you might have come across or will come across life at some stage, hopefully, you will be able to identify them in time :)
