The Laws of Spirit opens with the story of Dan Millman’s encounter with a sage in the wooded hills near his home. Through stories, tests, and experiences in the wild, the sage challenges Millman to examine 12 core principles that underlie human existence: balance, choice, process, presence, compassion, faith, expectation, integrity, action, cycles, surrender, and unity. The book shows how these keys — at the heart of every religion, culture, and moral system — can lead to a deeper sense of meaning, connection, and harmony with the world. It also shows readers how these principles can transform relationships, careers, finance, and health. Quotations and reminders from across the centuries inform and inspire readers as they accompany Millman on his journey.
Most people who've read Way of the Peaceful Warrior (or seen the movie) already know a few aspects of my life. But here are some personal notes: I love to teach; so over the years I've honed writing and speaking skill in order to share what I've learned with others. I consider myself blessed to have my books embraced by so many people around the world.
Joy and I have been married for 35 years and we grow closer each day, it seems, as we gain perspective and cultivate a sense of humor (about ourselves and one another). I'm a proud dad of three grown daughters and two grandsons so far.
I believe you'd find me a good (but not perfect) example of what I teach; I continue to learn, grow, and practice. I have my head in the clouds but feet on the ground.
