About this listen

The international bestselling author is back with a page-turning tale of the origins of the peaceful warrior

In the heart of nineteenth century Tsarist Russia an orphaned boy born of both Jewish and Cossack blood desperately seeks to find a place in a dangerous world. Sergei Ivanov’s (Socrates’) journey from a military academy to America is a spellbinding and tragic odyssey of courage and love. This riveting novel reveals how a boy became a man, how a man became a warrior, and how a warrior discovered peace. From his birth, this boy—Sergei Ivanov—is destined to become the peaceful warrior and sage who changed the life of Dan Millman and millions of readers worldwide.

very powerful hero's journey tale. so much struggle an pain, then eventually some form of peace... probably would call it a peace with God or oneself in align with the story told.

a hero's journey

Such an amazing story that had me hooked from a few chapters in to the very end. I wanted more and more. I've actually listened to this book several times now and was as captivated the second time as the first. The story intertwines drama and subtle spiritual lessons, without any preachiness or pushing of a particular belief. it is the prequel to Way of the Peaceful Warrior and I easily prefer this book by a mile. The voice of the reader does the book great justice and don't be put off by the intermission music which is a little old fashion.
highly recommend!!

As a huge fan of the peaceful warrior series, The Journey of Socrates caught me off guard being a very different; and much darker style of writing by Dan Millman.

That said the story was incredible and the final part spoken by Dan Millman that ties he’s and Socrates journey together is absolutely jaw dropping.

If you’ve read the first three in the series… this is an absolute must!

Absolutely mind blowing
