At many points in Dan Millman’s seminal story of personal transformation, the old warrior Socrates shrugs off Dan’s questions with a laconic “It’s the House Rules.” Here, Millman takes more than 100 of the book’s most interesting and enigmatic passages and explores in detail the key ideas behind them, showing their genesis in spiritual philosophies old and new. Drawing on 25 years of experience since first writing the book, he reveals an evolving sensibility and perspective, he drawing practical lessons that readers can apply directly to their lives from even the most mysterious passages. Millman gives readers fresh insight and wisdom by clarifying seemingly paradoxical statements and applying essential teachings to life's toughest questions. Whether readers are coming to Way of the Peaceful Warrior for the first time or belong to its legions of long-time fans, The Peaceful Warrior Companion deepens their experience of this beloved spiritual classic.
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.
