The Journeys of Socrates



'The Journeys of Socrates' by Dan Millman was a great read. Years ago I read 'The Way of the Peaceful Warrior' and have always remembered it as a great adventure and insight into what is spiritually possible.

This book continued that adventure by going further back into the history of one of the original characters and shedding light on how such a great being came to be. I am glad I read 'The Way of the Peaceful Warrior' first because it made sense to me in this way and allowed the revelations at the end of the book to have more meaning for me. I feel inclined to reread the first book now though, because it has been many years since I first read it.

'The Journey of Socrates' is set in Russia in the middle of the 19th Century. It tells of the hardships endured and the triumphs of his character. I definately recommend it. The author Dan Millman has a website that tells of a movie based on 'The Way of the Peaceful Warrior'. I look forward to seeing that.
