Product Description

The Way Begins . . .

Sergei was three when the soldiers took him. At fifteen he fled into the wilderness, with nothing to cling to but the memories of a grandfather who called him Socrates and the promise of a gift buried near St. Petersburg. Thus begins The Journeys of Socrates -- an odyssey that forged the character of Sergei Ivanov, whose story would one day change the lives of millions of readers worldwide. This saga of courage and faith, of love and loss, reveals the arts of war and the path to peace. Ultimately, it speaks to the quest we all share for a meaningful life in a challenging world.

Even better than The Way of the Peaceful Warrior October 2, 2008
The Journeys of Socrates is about Socrates' life before he met Dan Millman.
It is a fast and interesting read, and I found myself totally unwilling to put the book down. I am not a die hard Dan Millman fan. Some of his books are a little too fluffy for me. But I found this book to be more than interesting on many levels, with many timeless truths interwoven into a great story that touches the spirit of what it is to be human and what it is to seek for the truth. This book grabbed my heart and put me back in touch with it!
If you have read The Way of the Peaceful Warrior and enjoyed it even a little, then you will most certainly love this book.
One doesn't have to have read The Way of the Peaceful Warrior to enjoy this book- it can stand alone- but it certainly packs more of a wallop if you've read The Way of the Peaceful Warrior first. Enjoy!

More like a fantasy novel June 30, 2008
Though well written and interesting in some ways, this books relies too much on unlikely coincidences and the mystical or superhuman capabilities of its characters. Also, too many of the plot twists are telegraphed to the reader in advance, and in a fashion that is really too obvious.

The Journeys of Socrates June 11, 2008

Dan Millman's third book in the Peaceful Warrior Saga is superb. The life of his mentor, that started him on the journey to a better way of life, is as well written as all his other books. It is amazing what the human being & spirit can endure and come out stronger for it. All the hardships of Socrates growing up, the mentors he sought out, and the peace he acquired from it all, is a testimony to us all that we can all find peace within and without. For many years now I have believed we are all teachers and we are all students. No matter who comes into your life, they can teach you something. Student: Open up your mind and allow yourself to be taught by one of the best in our Universe... you will be blessed indeed!

more about Socrates - the wise man from Peaceful Warrior Saga March 25, 2008
This hard bound book arrived fast and as described. I haven't read this yet, but the book is in excellent condition. I am looking forward to discovering more about Socrates and how he came to his wisdom.

I don't even know why I am bothering to listen... except for the hope that eventually this will get better. Maybe it will. I'm on disk 4 out of 5 and it seems to be picking up.

I read his other book: Way of the Peaceful Warrior and really enjoyed it. It doesn't seem like this Socrates can be the same person? Oh well. I'll keep listening.

All in all, I think Dan is a good author.
