1) Paperback Book The Journeys of Socrates: An Adventure by HarperOne. A profoundly beautiful book, describing the harrowing early life of Millman´s mentor as he suffers through unimaginable tragedies in order to emerge as the wise man we know as Socrates in Millman´s other warrior tales. Although not as openly instructive as Way of the Warrior, I found this book affected me even more deeply.

I can´t go into the details without giving away the story, but I would suggest that anyone who has experienced sorrow, loss or has suffered at the hands of other people - anyone who carries the burden of unrequited anger, anyone who smoulders with thoughts of revenge, or anyone who allows their past to weigh them down - may find some peace within the pages of this book.

Highly recommended.

2) Paperback Book The Journeys of Socrates: An Adventure by HarperOne. Although the first part of the book seems a bit slow filled with details of Socrates´ youth, nevertheless the book is amazing! Like all good books, this book made me want to cry, laugh, and smile during different moments in the book.
This book made me contemplate about my own life and how our ancestors struggled with life during their earlier existence. The biggest gift this book has given me is the understanding that life is full of struggles and hardships but nothing is more valuable then incorporating life as a lesson for cultivating wisdom and compassion.
I´ve read all 3 books of the Peaceful Warrior saga and I highly recommend all of them! It provides great depth and inspiration for those who are searching for a more mindful way of living...¤

3) Paperback Book The Journeys of Socrates: An Adventure by HarperOne. The Journeys of Socrates is about Socrates´ life before he met Dan Millman.
It is a fast and interesting read, and I found myself totally unwilling to put the book down. I am not a die hard Dan Millman fan. Some of his books are a little too fluffy for me. But I found this book to be more than interesting on many levels, with many timeless truths interwoven into a great story that touches the spirit of what it is to be human and what it is to seek for the truth. This book grabbed my heart and put me back in touch with it!
If you have read The Way of the Peaceful Warrior and enjoyed it even a little, then you will most certainly love this book.
One doesn´t have to have read The Way of the Peaceful Warrior to enjoy this book- it can stand alone- but it certainly packs more of a wallop if you´ve read The Way of the Peaceful Warrior first. Enjoy!

4) Paperback Book The Journeys of Socrates: An Adventure by HarperOne. Though well written and interesting in some ways, this books relies too much on unlikely coincidences and the mystical or superhuman capabilities of its characters. Also, too many of the plot twists are telegraphed to the reader in advance, and in a fashion that is really too obvious.¤

5) Paperback Book The Journeys of Socrates: An Adventure by HarperOne. Dan Millman´s third book in the Peaceful Warrior Saga is superb. The life of his mentor, that started him on the journey to a better way of life, is as well written as all his other books. It is amazing what the human being & spirit can endure and come out stronger for it. All the hardships of Socrates growing up, the mentors he sought out, and the peace he acquired from it all, is a testimony to us all that we can all find peace within and without. For many years now I have believed we are all teachers and we are all students. No matter who comes into your life, they can teach you something. Student: Open up your mind and allow yourself to be taught by one of the best in our Universe... you will be blessed indeed!¤

6) Paperback Book The Journeys of Socrates: An Adventure by HarperOne.

Sergei was three when the soldiers took him. At fifteen he fled into the wilderness, with nothing to cling to but the memories of a grandfather who called him Socrates and the promise of a gift buried near St. Petersburg. Thus begins The Journeys of Socrates -- an odyssey that forged the character of Sergei Ivanov, whose story would one day change the lives of millions of readers worldwide. This saga of courage and faith, of love and loss, reveals the arts of war and the path to peace. Ultimately, it speaks to the quest we all share for a meaningful life in a challenging world.
