Review: I have read this book many times, and each time I learn more. Dan's relationship with the strange old petrol station attendant is mystical and magical. It changed my whole belief system. A must. Read it.

Summary: Memorable, resonant and perspective shifting masterpiece!
Review: This book definitely has the potential to change your perception of life. You can casually read this book or you can let your heart absorb its lessons and learn how to live a more peaceful, simplistic life. Either way it is enjoyable. This book can teach you how to slow down and actually TASTE the food you eat and feel the air you breathe. It is about appreciating life and waking up to the joys around us. I cannot imagine anyone not loving this book. It is strange to read some of the negative reviews. I guess some folks are very resistant to change. It's worth a try. Who knows, it might be the one book for you that will actually help you look at life in a more joyful way.

Summary: A puerile, derivative, supposedly life-changing book.
Review: A book that changes lives!? Inspirational, perhaps. (Though surely not as inspirational as the many true stories of people who have overcome exceptional setbacks such as cancer). But it escapes me how so many reviewers can assert that this book has been life altering since it offers little more than spiritual truisms? How many people read the book and do anything differently? Do they become vegetarians? Or gymnasts? Or do they hang around gas stations waiting to meet their mystical master? Far better for someone to actually take lessons in Tai chi or Aikido which provide practical means to put some of the tenets in Way of Peacful Warrior to work. Way of Warrior seems to be a compilation of various spiritual paths: a little Zen, a little Aikido, a little Castenada, a little _____ (fill in your favorite new age discipline). In the 1970s there was a popular book making the rounds called "Be Here Now," which proffered the Eastern principle of living in the moment. If you want to read a book that might challenge your conceptions of how you approach the world, try Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance." If you want a book to provide some practical advice on following a non-western spiritual journey, try William Reed's "KI - A Path Anyone Can Travel" which offers actual methods for breathing, meditating, healing, living. Parting shot -- Dan Millman should have taken more writing courses at UC Berkeley. Maybe then he would have avoided the juvenile, melodramatic style that he succombs to.

Summary: Hello, I am stupid, but this book is not
Review: People may say that this book has no storyline or plot, but they are right. I don't care. I know people don't like to read nonsense books, but sometimes they offer a powerful message. This book makes you think about what really matters in life, and helps you deal with stresses in a much more relaxing way.

Summary: Read a real author like Nathaniel Branden.
Review: This is the worst book I could send to someone if I wanted them to "change their life". I read this because an ex-girlfriend recommended it to me and it is truly awful. There is no real story, there is no real plot, its an empty book that is a total waste of time, extolling the virtues of altruism and mysticism. As a matter of fact, if you truly want to read a book that will change your life without being so lame I suggest anything by Alexandre Dumas, Ayn Rand or Nathaniel Branden. Wait a minute! This book did in fact change my life! It changed it because it got me to realize that if a woman you're seeing ever reccomends a piece of trash like this book to you, that you should run away as fast as your feet can carry you!

Summary: A timeless lesson that you'll want to share!
Review: The subtitle of this magnificent book is "A Book That Changes Lives". Believe it! Dan Millman, a gymnastics student at the University of California, Berkeley, finds himself at a crucial point in his life, poised on the verge of manhood, and at the jumping off point of his own success. But somehow his life feels flat and empty. Without real meaning. That's when he meets Socrates at a gas station one day. The meeting is seemingly random, and Dan thinks that Socrates might not be playing with all of his marbles in the bag. He soon learns differently. "When you are ready, a teacher will be presented to you." This is one of the first lessons that Dan learns from Socrates, and only one of many. His initial impression of Socrates is changed forever when he realizes that Socrates is the answer to all of the questions in Dans life...or rather, Dan finds out that he had all of the answers all along, just like Dorothy in "The Wizard of Oz". I owned a total of 14 copies of this book since it was published, and found that I couldn't hold on to even one of them. They were all given to friends who I knew would benefit from the parables and life lessons that Dan learns. I met Dan Millman a few years later, and found that he wholeheartedly believes every word in that book, and that first book was the impetus for all of the following "help" books that he later wrote. Don't pass up a chance to read this...it just might change your life!
