Publisher's Summary

This audio edition of the international best seller Way of the Peaceful Warrior is based on the story of Dan Millman, a world-class gymnast who has it all, but is troubled by a vague sense of dissatisfaction with his everyday life. He meets an eccentric old mentor named Socrates, who sets him on a spiritual odyssey that will ultimately deliver or destroy him. Along the way Dan encounters realms of light and darkness, of romance and magic, as he learns what it means to live as a peaceful warrior.

Way of the Peaceful Warrior is a rare story with the power to transform lives. It conveys piercing truths with drama, heart, and humor and speaks directly to the universal quest for fulfillment and happiness, for finding our place in the world. It is a story for all times that can inspire joy, expand perspectives, and remind us of the deeper truth we already know, that real freedom lies within us right now.

Life changing

A book that can change lives by illuminating a path many have spoke about but few have understood.

If you’ve read it some time ago, read it again.

I read this book in my 20’s and loved it. Now I’m
54 and have just read it again. After experiencing many hard knocks in the last decade, I found it more relevant than ever. I feel much more centred and calm. Choosing happiness and love over regret and pain. Consequently more good things are coming into my life. I thoroughly recommend it to anyone at any stage of life, who suspects there may be more to life than what the modern world would have us believe.
Well done Dan…. and Socrates of course…!

Came back to me at exactly the right time

I read this book when in the 80's when I really needed it in my life,It changed my life back then. I had this in my Audible library for a while, for nostalgia, but needed something again and remembered I had thus book there. Again, this book really drew me back to get change going again, just when I needed it, Thanks Dan.

Truly the best book and story I’ve ever experienced

Never since the days of Harry Potter have I not been able to put a book down

Now it has happened again, but better than ever, and it is real
