I never read Millman’s most famous book, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior. I still haven’t read it, and I probably never will. But since you guys are family, I'll admit that I always felt a little guilty about it, so when The Journey of Socrates was recommended to me I thought it was a good compromise. The book is in one of my favorite genres, philosophical fiction, and it did not disappoint. An emotionally rich story that follows an orphaned half-Jewish soldier in Russia during the times of the violent anti semitic pograms, the book illustrates the balance between the fighter, the warrior and the sage. It is in essence a tale of self mastery, and while the lessons contained within may not be revolutionary, they can powerful reminders of the warrior’s way.

  • I’m impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s equally educative and entertaining, and let me tell you, you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that too few folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I stumbled across this during my hunt for something regarding this.

  • Hey man. How come you never read Way Of The Peaceful Warrior? Was it a conscious decision not to? Or you just never got around to it?
