Summary: an ok book
Review: ok... so there isn't much to say about the language in the book... it's pretty simple and strait forward as it should be when dealing with isssues so complicated as spirituality and finding oneself.
perhaps the best element in the book is the realistic way he goes about changing his life... excersing the propper muscles, eating the right food and practicing Aikido. these drew me personally closer to the author who presented a pretty down to earth case:you can't change in mere seconds. it does take time and excersise.
the part i don't care much for in such books is the whole magical spiritual experiences that the author goes through because of his mentors tampering. i mean look, they're ok but i can't believe a word i read from them since they're not empirical. and don't say spirituality isn't tangiable because, for the most part, it is. the closing was effective... i did want to buy the sequel, but couldn't as it wsn't available in local bookstores. just as i did for the way of the peaceful warrior, i would have had to buy it from amazon.com and that would have been somewhat of a hassle. i guess i'm just trying to comment on the availability of the book... it's not! but i do recommend the book for people who are interested in reading about the many tangiable aspects of spirituality, while having a little laugh at the nice touches of humor the author brings in by means of socrates the mentor.

Summary: Will lift your spirit
Review: I have just finished this book (read it in 3 nights, couldn't put it down) and have a great sense of hope. I have read many other books with similar content but never one that kept my interest piqued through the entire book. This is not a "how-to" book, it is a story of one person's journey to enlightenment. It confirmed many of my beliefs and increased my understanding of many others. It was a 'joy' to share the story of Mr.Millman's journey and gave me hope for my journey. Well worth reading.

Summary: a perfect gift for almost anyone, any occasion
Review: i read this book because i saw that it was apolo anto ohno's favorite book. i thought it would give me insight as to how this 19 year old became not only a skating star, but such a young guy with a not so young spiritual temperment. this book will make you a fan of dan milman, and certainly a fan of apolo. it' a quick, easy read for anyone, any age. a year ago i started on my own personal path as a peaceful warrior and this book made me realize i was and am on the right path. after reading this book it affirmed my decision to stop and smell the roses and enjoy life, ride a bike, smile and enjoy the few laps around the sun we get. i have a lot of friends in the internet/technology world who are going thru a lot of stress, doubt, worry these days. all they worked for is quickly spinning around and down the drain and there's little to show for it. i left many who would have cut their own mother's throat to achieve extreme internet wealth, starter palaces and perceived power. today they are lucky if they have conscience enough to keep a peanutbutter and jelly sandwich down. if you know of anyone headed off to college or kids in college, or maybe someone whose life is taking a turn for the worse buy this book for them. the book won't change their lives, but it will help them change, and enjoy their lives if they are open to doing so.

Summary: When the time is right.
Review: I read this book a few months after my high school sweetheart killed himself and I just could not seem to get on with everyday life. It was exactly what I needed to get on with my grieving, and my living. I think that you have to be in a certain place in your life when you read it, I have passed it to friends that just read it for pure entertainment and they did not get as much out of it. The book is very direct, and simple, which is exactly what I needed to get on with my journey. I have read this book 5 or 6 times in the last 10 years, and it is always helpful. Make sure you read Sacred journey also!

Summary: If you love the wisdom of Forrest Gump
Review: If you love the wisdom of Forrest Gump or Johnathan Livingston Seagull by Richard Bach you'll be touched and moved by this simple minded baby boomer spiritual tripe - "A book that changes lives"?!. I received this a a gift and wish I had the hour of life back that I spent reading it. Read Herman Hesse's Siddhartha instead.

Summary: A must read for" warriors".
Review: Based on the comments of another reviewer, I read both Millman's book and the Evolution of a Warrior by Christopher Regan. While I agree with the other reviewer that Regan's book is more powerful in some respects (IMO), I believe Millman's novel is also a must read for anyone trying to follow the way of a warrior. Millman's novel is especially well suited for a younger readers (like early teens). The Evolution of a Warrior, with its sex and seduction scenes, is better suited for a more mature audience.

Summary: This the book that slapped me, shook me up and got me movin'
Review: Great book! Way of the Peaceful warrior is a fiction/non-fiction hybrid that is about the story of a man in the process of self discovery. There are many twists, turns and failures. The character eventually meets a master who is there to teach him about himself and the world. I personally read this book 2 times. Excellent ending! 5 Stars! "The difference between winners and losers, is one more step"

Summary: For anyone who wants a more fulfilling life!
Review: This book is a wonderful way to look at yourself and where you are at in life. Dan Millman did a marvelous job telling a story that are compelling and mesmerizing, and every minute reading it is every minute closer to self-discovery and enlightenment. Teens should really read this book because; I myself a teen know what teen goes through. Even with all my success and achievement I still was unhappy like Dan in this book, through simple ways of looking at various things this book have change the way I lead a more peaceful and fulfilling life. It is fit to call this book " The book that changes lives"

Summary: Not the Best, But Very Good
Review: I don't know if this book does indeed 'change lives' as it claims, but it does a good job of presenting a healthy philosophy of life. The story was a bit too 'goody goody' for my taste though. I much prefer Regan's novel, 'The Evolution of a Warrior'. Still, I highly recommend Millman's book as well.

Summary: The best book I ever read
Review: Simply put, in shining, simple prose, Dan Millman conveys many lessons and great inspiration through his book "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior." Some of my fellow reviewers enjoyed this book and some didn't. I believe that you have to be ready to read a book like this, and that you absolutely must be open. Most people are too caught up in illusions like knowledge (see reviews) to appreciate the full benefits of the story, even when the limits of knowledge are unquestionably pointed out. This is all part of our individual progress. However, for those of us ready to think about it openly "Peaceful Warrior" can be a great book indeed. Also, heed Dan's words from "Living on Purpose," "ten percent of what I say may be wrong for you at this particular time, so listen with healthy skepticism and take with you only what you find useful." I challenge all of you, those that liked it, and those that didn't, to "empty your teacup," as it were, and try reading it again without imposing your assumptions on it. Best wishes for all,
Allan
