Book Reviews of Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives
Book Review: Living for others, Understanding by NOT understanding ... collectivist TRASH! Poison to the minds of the young.
Summary: 1 Stars
Trash. Driveling, socialist, collectivist nonsense. The sort of thing that seeks to poison the minds of the impressionable and destroy capitalism, independence, competitive drive, and freedom from the slavery of altruism. This is one of the classics of mysticism.
I read through most of it once YEARS ago, before I knew myself, and thought it was cool, like all the other brainwashed drones who would give it good reviews. Not because I actually thought it was cool, but because I thought I was SUPPOSED to think it was cool.
I came across it again years later, and saw it for the spirit-killing garbage it is. And still read through it all.
Summary of Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives
Way of the Peaceful Warrior is based on the story of Dan Millman, a world champion athlete, who journeys into realms of romance and magic, light and darkness, body, mind, and spirit. Guided by a powerful old warrior named Socrates and tempted by an elusive, playful woman named Joy, Dan is led toward a final confrontation that will deliver or destroy him. Readers join Dan as he learns to live as a peaceful warrior. This international bestseller conveys piercing truths and humorous wisdom, speaking directly to the universal quest for happiness.
During his junior year at the University of California, Dan Millman first stumbled upon his mentor (nicknamed Socrates) at an all-night gas station. At the time, Millman hoped to become a world-champion gymnast. "To survive the lessons ahead, you're going to need far more energy than ever before," Socrates warned him that night. "You must cleanse your body of tension, free your mind of stagnant knowledge, and open your heart to the energy of true emotion." From there, the unpredictable Socrates proceeded to teach Millman the "way of the peaceful warrior." At first Socrates shattered every preconceived notion that Millman had about academics, athletics, and achievement. But eventually Millman stopped resisting the lessons, and began to try on a whole new ideology--one that valued being conscious over being smart, and strength in spirit over strength in body. Although the character of the cigarette-smoking Socrates seems like a fictional, modern-day Merlin, Millman asserts that he is based on an actual person. Certain male readers especially appreciate the coming-of-age theme, the haunting love story with the elusive woman Joy, and the challenging of Western beliefs about masculine power and success. --Gail Hudson
