Way of the Peaceful Warrior (1980)
During his junior year at the University of
California, while training to become a world-champion gymnast, Dan
Millman stumbled on a 94-year-old mentor nicknamed Socrates, a
powerful, unpredictable, and elusive character. He taught a way to
maximize performance using a unique blend of Eastern philosophy and
Western fitness to cultivate the true essence of a champion - the "way
of the peaceful warrior." Millman's first-person account of his
odyssey into realms of light, darkness, mind, body, and spirit has
since become an international bestseller about the universal quest for
happiness.

Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior (1991)
Four years after training with the old warrior he calls Socrates, and
in spite of all he has learned, Dan Millman confronts personal failure
and growing frustrations. Disillusioned with his life, unable to
bridge the gap between knowing and doing, he sets out on a worldwide
quest to rediscover his sense of purpose and source of inspiration. A
buried memory sends him on a search for a woman shaman deep in a
Hawaiian rain forest. She is the gateway to all his hopes and his
fears - and only she can prepare him for what is to come. In worlds of
shadow and light, he encounters inner tests, mortal challenges,
disturbing revelations, and memorable characters in the most crucial
quest of his life. This is the sacred journey we all share, says
Millman, the journey to the light that shines at the heart of all our
lives.

The Journeys of Socrates
(2005)
In nineteenth-century Tsarist Russia an orphaned child born of Jewish
and Cossack blood grows up in a land of wealthy aristocrats,
struggling peasants, and growing discontent. Sent to an elite military
academy at the tender age of four, Sergei Ivanov (Socrates) comes of
age training to protect a way of life he doesn't understand. When a
sudden death forces Sergei to flee, he escapes into the wilderness.
With nothing to cling to but a memory of his
grandfather and the promise of a gift buried near St. Petersburg,
Sergei journeys across a harsh land to seek his place in the world.
The adventure that unfolds is not about the revolutions of history,
but about the revolution in one man's heart. A stirring story of
tragedy and triumph emerges as Sergei encounters mentors and masters
who reveal secrets about the arts of war and, ultimately, the path to
peace. From the heights of love to the depths of despair, from the
threat of a mortal enemy to the search for a child he has never met,
Sergei Ivanov's odyssey unlocks hidden wisdom at the heart of life. He
could never have imagined that from the moment of his birth he was
destined to become the peaceful warrior who would change the lives of
millions worldwide.

Body Mind Mastery: Creating Success in Sport and Life (1992)
Physically demanding sports such as tennis and basketball have a lot
in common with skills such as playing the piano. In addition to

offers a regimen to integrate physical training with psychological
growth. He examines the motivations for athletic excellence and offers
a transformative guide to success that is as applicable in everyday
life as it is in sports.

Everyday Enlightenment: The Twelve Gateways to Personal Growth
(1998)
Here is Dan Millman's magnum opus-the most complete presentation of
his teachings, showing how to live as a peaceful warrior -- how to
actually practice a more enlightened way of life. Everyday
Enlightenment presents twelve "gateways" or arenas that radically
redefine the meaning of success and the purpose of our lives. These
twelve gateways: keys to worth, will, energy, money, mind, intuition,
emotions, fear, shadow, sexuality, heart, and service, represent
twelve books in one, a clear map of the territory of human potential.

Living on Purpose (2000)
Millman tackles some of the toughest questions, and in the process,
refines and expands on the teachings of his other books. Millman
applies timeless principles to questions about metaphysics, destiny
and free will, control and surrender, goal-making, marriage,
child-rearing, money and work, sexuality, priority setting, and
simplifying life. He combines hard-won personal wisdom with common
sense to shed light on real-world problems.

The Laws of Spirit: A Tale of Transformation (2001)
The Laws of Spirit opens with the story of Dan Millman's encounter
with a sage in the wooded hills near his home. Through stories, tests,
and experiences in the wild, the sage challenges Millman to examine 12
core principles that underlie human existence: balance, choice,
process, presence, compassion, faith, expectation, integrity, action,
cycles, surrender, and unity. The book shows how these keys -- at the
heart of every religion, culture, and moral system -- can lead to a
deeper sense of meaning, connection, and harmony with the world. It
also shows readers how these principles can transform relationships,
careers, finance, and health. Quotations and reminders from across the
centuries inform and inspire readers as they accompany Millman on his
journey.

Divine Interventions: True Stories of Mystery and Miracles That Change Lives
(1999) with Doug Childers
Throughout recorded history miracles have happened. Many brilliant
leaders and thinkers--presidents, scientists (including Einstein),
philosophers-have attested to the power of intuition and the existence
of some universal mind to which we are all connected at times. Dan
Millman is the perfect person to document such stories; his 10
previous books have more than 2 1/2 million copies in print. He is
uniquely qualified to describe these unwavering testaments to the
belief that faith is rewarded, that supernatural things happen, and
that God and spirituality are regularly proven in everyday life.
Divine Interventions will validate faith, affirm the existence of the
supernatural, and inspire true believers with stories that are nothing
short of miraculous.
