Dan is an inspiration to me （and many others）， and has been for several decades。 In his new book， Dan generously shares his story， candidly and without pretence — a journey into the heart and soul of Dan Millman the athlete， student， teacher， husband， father， and human being。 He includes the hard lessons， disappointments， and tough choices he faced， keeping it real and relatable。 I felt empathy for the struggles he encountered and shared in his triumphs。 This memoir may be his crowning achieveme Dan is an inspiration to me （and many others）， and has been for several decades。 In his new book， Dan generously shares his story， candidly and without pretence — a journey into the heart and soul of Dan Millman the athlete， student， teacher， husband， father， and human being。 He includes the hard lessons， disappointments， and tough choices he faced， keeping it real and relatable。 I felt empathy for the struggles he encountered and shared in his triumphs。 This memoir may be his crowning achievement as a teacher， since it reveals who he has become — and what is more important in a teacher than the example they set？ I can wholeheartedly give Peaceful Heart， Warrior Spirit the highest rating， for it offers important pointers to us all on how to live well amidst the realities of daily life。 。。。more

I’ve loved Dan’s “Way of the Peaceful Warrior” series， and the movie。 This book was like a sneak peek behind the curtain， giving me a glimpse of the reality of the books and the base in reality of the fiction of them。 I also liked learning more about his personal growth and creative processes， alongside the view into his personal life。 If you’ve never read a Dan Millman book before， I wouldn’t recognize this one as your entry point into his work。 But for anyone who is familiar， I think you’ll li I’ve loved Dan’s “Way of the Peaceful Warrior” series， and the movie。 This book was like a sneak peek behind the curtain， giving me a glimpse of the reality of the books and the base in reality of the fiction of them。 I also liked learning more about his personal growth and creative processes， alongside the view into his personal life。 If you’ve never read a Dan Millman book before， I wouldn’t recognize this one as your entry point into his work。 But for anyone who is familiar， I think you’ll like learning about his back story （with snippets from Joy too）。 。。。more

Each book by this author has added at least a year to my life， and quality to the years。It's like having a life coach who is an elite athlete and coach at trampoline， gymnastics， and diving。 Trampoline may be the oldest and most fundamental of all sports。The book also gives the drama of one person's quest to learn what it meant to travel through this world and make some sense of it all， and his struggle to find out what comes next， if anything。 Each book by this author has added at least a year to my life， and quality to the years。It's like having a life coach who is an elite athlete and coach at trampoline， gymnastics， and diving。 Trampoline may be the oldest and most fundamental of all sports。The book also gives the drama of one person's quest to learn what it meant to travel through this world and make some sense of it all， and his struggle to find out what comes next， if anything。 。。。more
