Customer Reviews

Dan Millman has done it again!

Yes, Dan Millman latest book is about fresh insights into the timeless wisdon. Eg. the part on 'moments' - we don't really remember special days, we remember special moments. Also the part about we have to trust ourselves more than merely looking to the next guru about 'magic'. AndyTheCoach (Andy Ng), Asia Coaching Training, Singapore

A great book to help you see your world

If you've read the 7 habits of highly effective people this is the perfect companion book. Be careful because it can also lead you to become confused as you apply what is said and done. If you want a book that will give you a fresh look and apply the 7 habits this is it. Just don't get stuck at a crossroads.

Arguably Millman's best

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.

Powerful insights perfect for both new age and general-interest collections.

This companion to WAY OF THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR will best be appreciated by prior fans but even newcomers will find it a powerful piece which stands well alone, with a hundred key passages of ancient wisdom spiced with commentaries to display case histories and insights on the spiritual changes affecting the hearts of mankind. WISDOM OF THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR continues the lessons in WAY OF THE PEACEFUL WARRIOR: together the two books provide powerful insights perfect for both new age and general-interest collections.
