Dan Millman describes a way of life where the focused attention of the gymnast is applied to all facets of daily life -- from eating and walking to working and relating with others. Generally we blame our emotions on conditions outside of ourselves to which we react. Seldom do we choose to take responsibility for our own feelings. In this dynamic, two-part program, Millman suggests that we can find happiness if we commit ourselves to being present to the "now" moments of life. By being open to the power of each moment we find within ourselves naturally unfolding talents such as clairvoyance and telepathy.
Dan Millman, author of Way of the Peaceful Warrior, is a former world trampoline champion and co-captain of the 1968 University of California NCAA champion gymnastics team. He has coached gymnastics at Stanford, Oberlin and Berkeley.
possibly my single favorite book of all time. it just came to me at the perfect time in my life.
I was and still am not much of a reader at all. I was walking down the sidewalk and this book was in a cart of free books, in front of a used books store. I took this book not even sure that I would read it, and wow.
Lucky you! Hope I found out about it earlier. You know what, I didn't place any such demand in my life so nothing happened and I didn't grow. That's why I couldn't manifest my best self. But from this moment onwards, I am my best self. 😁 Have a great day.
I share your thought.. It's one of the best..
as Soc says nothing never happens.And all has its reason
A Peaceful Warrior is someone who identifies himself with the Universe--whose way is the Real--Beauty, Goodness and Peace. No matter what is happening in his world, he remains in his resolve to be a child of the Universe. He recognizes the ways on which he can shun the ugliness of what's going on around him and keep the goodness in himself.
Dan was 20-30 years ahead of his time .I dicovered him watching the movie and eventually I read his book "The Warrior Athlete" which teaches the mind-body connection .In this book he talks of the future training for athletes including things like yoga ,etc and now pro teams hire Yoga instructors for their teams . Also today they now know the importance of mind-body for better performance but he wrote that book in 1985 . Same with the "In the moment " phylosophy thats everywhere now . Should be more well known . Best self help phylosophy i have ever used .
I first read the book during my first year in college in 1991. Right now, as always, I don't have a copy of it because I'm always giving them away. I sure hope that some of the people I gave that gift to took advantage of it, and read it. That book changed my life then. And I've referred to it countless time over the course of my life.
This book is my all time favorite book. I worship this book like some religious text.
Dan was my dorm head at Oberlin College my freshman (1979-1980) year. He was also the diving coach. He taught us to juggle during Freshman Orientation. We had no idea how far his philosophy would take him. I am proud to have known him. :) There was NO gymnastics team at Oberlin during the 4 years I was there. So, I don't know how they got him as a gymnastics coach at Oberlin.
"happiness is something we give.."
gotta like that
Where are you? "Here"
What time is it? "Now"
I think the two most important questions we should ask ourselves whenever we feel that our mind is wandering in some past or worrying about some future outcome, leaving behind this beautiful present moment.
I really really love Jeffrey's interviewing style. He is calm, doesn't take over the interview, doesn't butt, adds his own thoughts and interpretations. If the interview is being performed by Jeffrey I am very happy to listen. I really enjoy the guests he chooses to have on his program. Many thanks Jeffrey.
"Here and now, relax and breathe" - Dan Millman
Labeling can be useful. But knowing Christians (i am one of them) most of us need the person they draw inspiration from to belong to our faith. (I don't). Millman appeals to me personally because I believe his teachings will improve my life and my faith.
Peaceful warrior is always my go-to book for when i feel a bit lost and depressed at the crushing burdens of day to day life. It realigns your center and puts existence into perspective
excuse me why are the videos from this channel so short......can anybody tell me where can I watch the complete interviews??
I was about 21 when I read this book and I really got into it. I was mad at the end of the book because I felt like it left me hanging and I was looking for that great ending or the prize if you will. It wasn’t until the second time I read it that I understood and I finally learned in my life that I no longer needed a reason to be happy!
I will always have many questions in this lifetime, but I am content with never having to know the answers!
Every single word: just great, so clear and I guess so true! Thank you, Dan Millman. These words we need to remember again and again!

This book is just amazing. It is changing my life.
Dude.. That may just be one of the nices things someone has ever said to me on youtube.. Which is not saying much, but still.. Thanks. :)
im not going to get into a religious debate but you believe what you were raised and conditioned to believe. Beliefs change as life goes on. Thats a fact of life.Everything is impermanent. But i wish you greatness on your quest for the lord.
i bought the dvd with the full 90 minute interview, and it's amazing...
What is it called?
Adam Masterson ‘living as a peaceful warrior’, I used to have a bunch of thinking allowed DVD’s but I’ve sadly lost all of them.
Thank you very much 🙏 I'll see if I can find one! Had no idea this was 90min!
Thanks, Dan ... I needed that today (and every day) !!!!
thats one switched on cookie
Reading way of the Peaceful Warrior right now
I know nothing, so am open to everything.
We all wish to be happy some of us the lack the tools to do it
People are afraid of whats inside and thats the only place they are going to find what they need
The other day, I felt a little heart broken. I recognized my breathing was inhaling deeply, but having a shortness of breathing out. It's kind of odd to recognize your body breathing pattern when you are caught in the moment.
Great to see Dan in this video. I m a fan of your work, and try to apply every day...
You know more than I think and you think more than you know.
This was when? 1968 or 2010.....
Happiness we give I love it...
Getting rich does not make us happy ?? Hahahahaha .. are you living under a rock? Being rich gives you freedom, any house you and your friends with.. any car you want .. any clothes you want .. millions to your favourite charities .. etc...
It's easier to be happy when you rich, cos having money allows you to deal with life's problems faster. The catch is that there are some problems, that even money cant solve.
The point is that no matter how rich you are, there's always gonna be some BS that life throws at you... so you better have some mental discipline, cos money alone wont be enough.
Take out the trash Dan.... love your work!
Thinking allowed...I get it! Clevah.
Dan was not a Shodan - blackbelt in Aikido for nothing. He git something out of that !
great interview. Thanks!
Thanks for the video.
Peace & Love
very nice!
I know. :P Just felt like explaining and further exlaining why @Blehstor was wrong. :P :D
exactly. it doesn't matter. once u label what he is thats when you become lost
you dont need any god, you know why? because there isnt one though! :)
😇🙏🏿
Que pena no haber tradición👍
What you don't know, you know? hmmm... How do you know?
was this filmed in 2010? if so he is over 60 years old
These were profound words spoken!
where are you?
Here
What time is it?
I don't know
Ok my grammar sucks, but you get my point..
But dont we all wish to be ..happy?
Dans message is good, he certainly has done well with his fictitious character named Socrates, great imagination Dan!!
i was just agreeing with you
how old is he in this video?
I want to get his books
he was so young here!
I dont
way of the peaceful warrior is an awesome book
Does it matter?
Does anyone know if Millman is a christian?
He didn't come across as one when I knew him from 1979-1980. He seemed to be more of a Buddhist.
Thanks for sharing! :)
