Summary: A story blending one's past & present into the here & now.
Review: Fifty years of my life has passed and in every minute of each of those years I spent part of each moment redigesting the past and anticipating the future. Is it any wonder that my memories are not vivid. Millman's message: "What time is it? NOW! Where are we? HERE!", is for me a perpetual reminder to turn my focus inward to the wealth of strength and creativity that I hold within. Saying those words to myself jog me out of my personal habit of reviewing my failures and worrying about my future losses. Those simple utterances: the HERE AND NOW hold deep meaning HERE AND NOW. Thanks Dan Millman, I'm am most appreciative for your insights, I GOT IT!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I OWE THIS BOOK MY LIFE, LITERALLY AND FIGURATIVELY.
Review: The Way of the Peaceful Warrior has inspired me to take control of my emotions and work toward making myself a happier person. Since reading the book I have done a complete 180 spin in my attitude toward life. Through the teachings of the book I have found my life to be more enjoyable and worthwhile.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A must read for all of you 'so what's it all about?' people
Review: The writing style is so bad in this book that I didn't think I would last the distance and so I was really surprised when I discovered I was having real difficulty in putting it down. I think this is a book especially for people in their 30's - just like "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintainence" - You really have to see beyond the corny story to 'read' the message - and what a message! Very, very powerful stuff - hardly a day goes by without part of that message reliving itself in my brain.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Suitable for children or the intellectually challenged.
Review: This is a reasonable fairy tale which can help to pass the time while on the train. However it is very simplistic and not at all inspiring since it's nothing you haven't heard a million times before. The 'insight' into life is given through a mystical, supernatural old hippie called socrates - this makes the story far too abstract and cannot be applied to real life. Dan Millman has made a lot of money out of some very gullible people. If you want to know about the meaning of life etc then go to the experts and read the views of a real philosopher. Hey..what about Socrates. Or else, try 'Sophie's World' by Josteein Gaardner, which is a far more insightful and intelligent read.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Millman Changes Lives
Review: Let me start by saying that I was very skeptical of this particular book when it was recomended to me by my brother. You see so many of these self improvement books written by some no name author that wants to make a quick buck. This book, however, is written so well and has such a great story that it keeps you interested and teaches a lesson at the same time. It says on the cover, "a book that changes lives" and thats exactly what this book can do. It is captivating, it sends you on a rollercoaster ride of emotions and laughter which can last a life time with in your heart. To this day i still live by and am conscious of the lessons Mr. Millman taught in his master piece of a book. Strongly recomended.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: You can't get better than this!!
Review: Millman has completely overhauled the concept of spiritual change. To be happy without purpose, to be a true peaceful warrior, THAT would be the highest accomplishment any person could achieve.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Awesome!
Review: This is the kind of book I prefer : No huge theories about things no one can prove but physical actions that you can take for a better life. Just in reading the book, you'll feel better.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A Good Eye Opener and Starting Point
Review: This is great book for those of us who have failed to truly open our eyes and take notice of the spiritual possibilities that may exist outside our everyday perceptions of the world around us.

Dan Millman's story used to deliver these ideas is somewhat fantastic and even depressing at times, as we find the main character faced with huge obstacles that take a lifetime to overcome. If the reader allows him or herself to let go of "Dan's" personal struggles with his journey and realize that the massages being delivered are universal in their goal yet each individual's approach will and should vary drastically, this book offers an exceptional starting point in spiritual discovery and growth. We should also remimber that most if not all true mentors come from within and we shouldn't count on finding the mythical gas station guru to kick us in the pants an point us in the right direction.

Despite any of my above criticism, I applaud this book, has it has been instrumental in assisting me in taking the next step in my own personal growth.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: We're all ready
Review: If you choose to read this book then it is the right time for you to start the change. To be given insights into how we can better our lives is a very special thing. And must be given in the right way and at the right time. It can be a story about any one of us. And how our lives can get better from having a conscious understanding of how things really work in this world. It was given to me by a friend at the right time and I am thankful.
