Summary: ... another tool to help us find fulfilment in our life!
Review: The joys of living in this world are so much more fulfilling when we learn to give of ourselves "unconditionally" to others (no games)! When we are willing to give our Best, it's funny how positive things happen around us. And then, it's more like a gift, instead of an expectation. What could be better than that? OWDO

Summary: You will only understand the message if your ready.
Review: This is not a book written by some literary genius, however, it is not meant to be that type of book. It does not scare off the Highschool student or Janitor, it opens its doors to all types of people by telling a story. The meaning in this book goes far deeper than the words on the page. Some who read this book will read a story. Millman is writing beyond the story, and those who are so bothered after reading this book that they can't look at a tree the same way, were truly ready for its lesson. I lived with the notion that I understood far more than I ever wanted to at a young age, I always felt I got"it" the "it" that nobody else did. This book gave me direction in realizing what that "it" was and how to accept what I knew. The main feeling I walked away with, good or bad, was that I could no longer pretend I did not know the answers.

Summary: The way of the peaceful warrior
Review: Some 5 years back I was introduced to this book that was the key to a door that I had been examining for a long time. From there I entered my own wonderful journey into the world of the spirit. Our lives are just journies in the vast universe, a ride that is bumpy and full of beautiful vistas. The Way of the Peaceful Warrior is an excellent book for any soul at any level on their journey to love and peace. I highly recommend this book. Your life will never be the same again....!

Summary: Better than most, by far.
Review: I read this book a few years ago, during a troublesome time in my life, in which I was struggling for spirtual meaning to a life seemingly devoid of anything higher than chance and randomness. I approached the book with mixed emotions, hoping to find something worthwhile and poignant, but at the same time skeptical of its "New Age" undertones. I was completely, totally, pleasantly surprised. Instead of rambling on for pages with pseudoscience I found a refreshingly upbeat and spiritual worldview that did not try to dethrone modern empirical thought. It did not speak of some ambiguous, omnipresent yet hidden God or Father or Babysitter, nor did it appeal exclusively to humanity's desire for something loftier than human existence. In fact, the only thing it really seemed to say, though the book expressed this in a wonderfully laid out parable, is that nothing is so real or so important as to last forever. "Lighten up," is basically the moral of this story. And when compared to current popular works of philosophy/fiction such as the abhorrent Celestine Prophecy, which are rife with New Age psychobable and faulty logic, The Way of the Peaceful Warior is a pleasant change of pace. As an added bonus, the story, while a bit choppy at times, is actually quite good as fiction goes.

Summary: Okay
Review: The writing is a bit sloppy, Millman dabbles in misogyny(toothpaste Susie!?), and we once again run into the problem(also posed by Castaneda and Redfield) of presenting fiction as philosophical half-truth(or is it the other way around?). That said, this is a good book which made me feel a bit less alone in my feelings about man's potential for growth within the confines of American society. Millman does well to suggest the possibility of living in a state of "no-mind," though he falters when assuming that this is achievable only through athletics(he was a gymnast. Hmmm....).
I can honestly say that I've experienced much the same phenomenon when writing or reading, or throwing the occasional jump shot. Nitpicking? Of course(somebody had to give this sucker less than 10 stars, for God's sake). Overall, I'd recommend it, though deeper thinkers may become bored very quickly.

Summary: My husband loved this book
Review: This was my husband Seth's favorite book. He died at 38, and I had such horrible pain when his parents asked me what to put on his tombstone. Nothing I could think of was adequate to express how much I loved him, how beautiful and brilliant he was, how passionate, and brave, how kind. No words could portray a man I remember as colors and sounds and passions. Then I remembered his favorite book. On his stone now, it says "Peaceful Warrior." And it is perfect.
