I read this book many years ago at a time in my life where I had very little hope, security, or even thought of how to achieve either. Typical advice would not have worked to show me a way out. I picked this book up on a whim thinking it might have something a bit different to say.  Was I surprised when I found more than just something a bit different?!

This book does not give answers. It only shows the questions and suggests a method of finding some answers. To those seeking a way of finding peace, this is the ultimate book to read. It will assist you in finding the path but it is then up to you to find the way. Mr. Millman has created what I consider the best “self-help” book around because it is truly helping oneself.

i love books that pop into your life and remind you to AWAKEN. it is very easy to get caught up in the comfort and ease of a cup of tea on a warm couch in a house where you can actually put your clothes on shelves. 
then you read a book like this and remember that it is outside in the biting wind next to the spray of the ocean with sand getting in your shoes and your cheeks turning red that you really FEEL alive. 
Dan Millman is one of those reminders. 

The silence speaks loudly in the now. Can you here it? Wisdom lives in the now. It is the by product of learning and creating.  The sun is always rising and falling somewhere and the somewhere is the place called, now.  Beauty follows it everywhere it goes, just as it follows us everywhere we go.  I saw  Dan in Detroit a few years ago and I must say that he walks his walk.  I can say that I very often have my head in the clouds but my two feet are firmly on the ground.  The book does change lives.  Thanks again Dan.

I just smoke peyote and imagone Barishnakov.

This book DOES changes lives.  Just when you think you're doing all you can to better yourself or earth or whatever, you see you have so much further to go, when you read this book.  And the Peaceful Warrior reminds you of things you've probably never thought of consciously.

I have met two of the characters from this books, a Socrates-like character who taught me a lot about myself and even more about the opposite sex, which I was struggling with for a long time.  I have also met a Peaceful Warrior and he is so special to me, I am always learning something new from him, his passion to take care of this earth is soo beautiful and he does it without hesitation.  I try to follow his ways, but I see it takes years of practice.
