Product Description

At many points in Dan Millman’s seminal story of personal transformation, the old warrior Socrates shrugs off Dan’s questions with a laconic “It’s the House Rules.” Here, Millman takes more than 100 of the book’s most interesting and enigmatic passages and explores in detail the key ideas behind them, showing their genesis in spiritual philosophies old and new. Drawing on 25 years of experience since first writing the book, he reveals an evolving sensibility and perspective, he drawing practical lessons that readers can apply directly to their lives from even the most mysterious passages. Millman gives readers fresh insight and wisdom by clarifying seemingly paradoxical statements and applying essential teachings to life's toughest questions. Whether readers are coming to Way of the Peaceful Warrior for the first time or belong to its legions of long-time fans, The Peaceful Warrior Companion deepens their experience of this beloved spiritual classic.

There are better books out there2
It seems that everyone these days is reading a book like the Dan Millman books. I think there are better books out there. There was nothing in there that got to me in any way. I think reading a book about Buddhism is a better idea if you truly want to find peace in your life. These sort of books are really trendy and Oprah and friends make everyone want to rush out and buy these "life changing" books, but it takes more than reading. You have to apply the stuff too. Read Principals of Buddhism by Kulananda instead.

Arguably Millman's best5
If you are new to Dan Millman, or an established reader of his, this book offers a background to many of his concepts originally introduced in PEACEFUL WARRIOR. I regard this book as Millman's best, as it outlines his wisdom in simple terms, without the fictional aspect. It is a superb follow-up to reading Peaceful Warrior. Millman has come a long way since his college days, and this is reflected in this book, a sometimes sombre and very mature assessment of his original work. I'm a huge fan of Dan Millman's, and if you appreciate his previous books, then this is a worthwhile addition to your collection.

WISDOM OF THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR1
This new Dan Millman book is just basically a repetition of what he says in No ordinary moments, Living on Purpose and the post-Peaceful warrior series. It seems as if Dan wants to squeeze the most out of Peaceful Warrior, and it seems that there is really no more to say about it.
I think Dan should try writing something new and original, we love Peaceful Warrior, but another book about it seems too much. You will find no new wisdom or new information, only the same stories, quotes, proverbs and phrases that appear all throughout his books -and I own them all-.
