Summary: After Ten Years, It's Still As Great As It Was Then.
Comment: The first time I read this I was at a point in my life when I was searching for the truth. I "accidentally" found this book and it changed my life. Once I began reading it, I couldn't put it down. It made everythign so clear. I cannot thank Dan enough for sharing his experiences with that crazy old man at the gas station.
Recently I was cleaning my bookshelves and again "accidentally" stumbled upon it. Ten years later and the teachings ring as true today as they did the first time. I had forgotten many of the teachings and again, it was just what I needed to get me back on the path. Amazing how it keeps surfacing at the right times? For those of you on The Path, it's a must. For those of you who have read it, read it again. Don't stop here, follow Dan through the Sacred Journey as well. It's worth the time, if you're willing to open your heart.

Summary: A Classic for Me
Comment: Depending where you are in your life, this book will be hit or miss. If you're starting to feel disillusioned about life and its meaning, then this book could be a story you'll really relate to. I read it when I was 15. Even though it's a story in some ways I couldn't relate to - I wasn't in college, and I didn't have an unlikely teacher that I met in gas station - I could relate to his struggle to feel alive and give his life meaning. I could remember in high school how the few real moments I had were playing soccer or spending time with a special girl. Kind of like the book's protagonist until he meets Socrates. Outside of those fleeting moments, my life felt pretty unspecial and meaningless. I felt very lost without purpose. The positive messages and the profound questions in this book are really inspiring, moving, and uplifting. To read of Dan's adventures grappling with culturally-obscured truths to life was exciting. So this book will always have a special place in my heart. It spoke to that sleeping part of myself that thirsts to "know thyself". But now I've moved on to new books, having used Way of the Peaceful Warrior as a stepping stone.
Wonderfully bright, active prose helps keep the pages turning. This is helpful when there are so many stunning ideas that don't need obsfucation caused by sophisticated mumbo-jumbo. One mistake I notice is that people tend to think because the book is easy reading for a student in middle-school that the ideas are unsophisticated. Go ahead and read Being and Nothingness, and then come back to Way of the Peaceful Warrior. I'm sure you'll have a larger, more complex vocabulary, but I'm not sure you'll have any deeper ideas. I think it's a tribute to Dan Millman that he could present fundamental philosophical questions in a way that connects them to real life and everyday happiness and suffering without writing about war, climbing a moutain, or something else extreme. I looked at my own life in new ways after reading this book.
Hopefully you'll enjoy this book like I did.

Summary: synchronistic
Comment: This book is great but only for what it is!
It is a stepping-stone book into heaving spiritual teachings out there. However it is a great first step.
I recommend this as excellent inspiration for those people who are struggling with their mundane existences and know there is something more out there but can't put there finger on it.
As stated it should be considered as introductory, and inspirational, reading and on that basis is a must-read for the person looking to break out of his or her current paradigm.
