Summary: An engaging, comprehensive, clear, and transformative work.
Review: "This is perhaps Dan Millman's most complete, well-organized work. Dan has always presented powerful, transformative ideas. In this easy-to-read book, Dan systematically outlines a comprehensive program for personal balance and transformation.

I highly recommend this book for those who would like tips from an accomplished spiritual teacher-- Dan has done his homework and is one of today's truly helpful souls.

This book will become a standard recommendation for my clients who are in need of a transformative, integrated program of balance, renewal, and wisdom."

Summary: "An informative, enlightening piece of reading"
Review: Although I don't agree with everything the author writes, I do feel that this is a good book. We all have room for improvement and it's a lot easier to see our lives from the outside in. It is a great idea to step back from time to time and analyze where we're at, where we want to be, and where we want to go. Mr. Millman has done his homework. Again, as I have stated in other reviews, if a book is positive in nature, and improves someones life, it is worthy of reading. My religious beliefs cause me to reject many of his ideals in this book, but from a spiritual standpoint, I agree with the concepts he presents. Well worth the time spent reading.

Summary: Application is the Key
Review: Dan Millman, in this book, shows the reader the many gateways that we need to pass in order to realize our true selves and in order to take a greater control of our lives.

Everyday Enlightenment, is not only about knowing more, but doing more. It's not what you know but what you do about what you know. It's the application that counts (just like LifeApps! at yahoogroups). There are many wonderful strategies in this book that if applied, can truly change your life.

Are you willing to change your patterns and your life? If you aren't don't this get this book it'll do nothing for you but provide entertainment. If you want to change your life, you have the tools with this book, USE IT. That's the key, USE this book and see a new you. Don't use this book and soon enough you'll go shopping for another one and another (good business for amazon, no?)

Summary: Everyday Enlightenment - a Pathway for the Strong-Hearted
Review: Dan Millman, one of the few great teachers who affect all of us, has given us a great gift with this work.

Dan is not a guru on a mountain who offers esoteric sayings, but a real man. He is a champion of gymnastics and husband and father who gives us perspective on life. When was the last time you heard a New Age Guru guide you on how to manage money? Or how to make your body more fit?

Read some of this book. You will find guidance in all aspects of a wonderful life, and advice on how to live a rich and beautiful existence. The world becomes better as you read each word.

Summary: Practical and gentle suggestions for a spiritual life
Review: For anyone interested in walking and talking a real, practical spirituality on a day to day basis, this is an excellent book. Millman's style is gentle and holistic, and reads a bit like a modern update of the excellent "You'll See It When You Believe It" by Wayne Dyer. This is very much a compliment!

Practical suggestions for physical, financial, mental, emotional and spiritual personal development are featured throughout. These are divided into twelve "gateways", beginning with recognizing your self-worth and ending with living your daily life as a spiritual practice in itself. The chapter on managing your money I found very useful when developing my own business as an astrologer. His treatment of sexuality, an area not always covered so openly in books of this kind, was another highlight. "Illuminating Your Shadow" is a balanced consideration of the dark side of anyone attempting to live a more spiritual life. Compassion for ourselves and others is continually emphasized in this section, as elsewhere.

Millman has used a wide range of quotes to support his ideas, contributions coming from Aldous Huxley, Miss Piggy and St. Augustine to name a few. My favourite is from Christopher Morley:- "No man is lonely while eating spaghetti; it requires so much attention".

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Best Self-Help Book
Review: I enjoyed reading Dan Millman's The Way of the Peaceful Warrior but after I finished it I soon found myself feeling disappointed, as I have after reading Carlos Casteneda, because the concepts and practices of the protagonists seem so removed from everyday life. Fortunately, I read Dan Millman's website...where he talks about this very phenomenon and gives candid advice on which of his books to read dependening on one's interest. Everyday Enlightenment was clearly the book for me. In this text Millman emphasizes the importance of seeking enlightenment in our everyday lives and the false promises associated with devotion to the latest guru or fad belief system. I find the concepts and wisdom in this book to be quite consistent with my religious and moral beliefs and I suspect this will be true for most readers...

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Great Lessons on Living Each Day
Review: I have read "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior", and I truly enjoyed the message and philosophy that Dan Millman teaches. Everyday Enlightenment develops these lessons a step further, and to allow us to use them in the context of our everyday lives. This book reminds us that there is far more to life than just breathing, eating, and reproducing. We must understand that life is a struggle, and accept that for what it is. We must constantly grow, never stagnate, and open up our true being, not only to the world around us, but to ourselves as well. A wonderful book.
