Among the dozens of paths of inner integration followed by modern man, the warrior's path is the least known. Perhaps even the most misunderstood. But it is certainly the most exciting. Stories and legends of great warriors have created the image of the hardy individual, who at most possesses the typical gentleness of a samurai, the apathy of a shao-lin monk, or the devotion of a knight. But things are not quite like that. In fact, the true warrior is far more human than we imagine. He lives among us with his fears and worries. But mostly with his humor and dignity. (...) It has been said that this is the book that "can change your life"—and that is no exaggeration. The response and feedback from readers where it has been published confirms it. This is because there is a true warrior in all of us, asking for a little reason to wake up. The way of the warrior is life itself. A life, however, that has now been transformed into a magical world, full of mystery and unexpectedness. And this book is but the occasion for this warrior to awaken...

      When he was a young man, Olympic athlete, gymnastic coach, and author Dan Millman met Socrates, an eccentric mentor who delivered him from a young man's hubris and heartless pursuit of victory. This moving, largely true, story, with details admittedly drawn from emotional rather than factual memory, is told here with loving respect for the old man and his timeless ideas. "The warrior's life is not about imagined perfection or victory; it's about love," the athlete is told by his mentor. Living in alignment with the heart in the moment, free of striving and performance pressure, is the valuable lesson that channels through this somewhat long but well-told story. T.W.

      Yet another first-person spiritual odyssey, this one from a gymnast whose shaman is an old grease monkey. That so many gurus in this kind of literature live humbly reminds one of the old New Yorker cartoon in which the society matron asks her capitalist husband, "If you're so rich, how come you're not smart?" To this observer, Millman is a bit young, his life too charmed to speak authoritatively about enlightenment and cosmic wisdom, but millions of avid readers disagree. However one takes his professions of sagacity, as narrator as well as author, he has ample skill and showmanship, though one gets the impression that one has heard it all before. Y.R.
