Reflections on the extraordinary experiences that shaped Dan Millman’s evolution from youthful dreamer to spiritual teacher, written to inspire readers on their own quests

In this long-awaited true story of a search for the good life, bestselling author Dan Millman describes his quest for meaning in the modern world, including the story behind his writing of the spiritual classic, Way of the Peaceful Warrior. His evolution from childhood dreamer to world-class athlete catapults him, over a span of two decades, through mind-expanding experiences with four radically different mentors who prepare him for his calling as a down-to-earth spiritual teacher.

For forty years, through books and seminars, Millman has shown how to live with a peaceful heart and a warrior’s spirit. This memoir shares his course corrections, wake-up calls, and life lessons as he introduces readers to four key mentors: the Professor, a Bolivian scientist-mystic; the Guru, an American-born spiritual master; the Warrior-Priest, a martial artist and metaphysical healer; and finally the Sage, a different sort of psychologist and a servant of reality.

At times rollicking, at times poignant, Millman’s reflections will delight millions of devoted fans and inspire a new generation of readers because, as he writes, “This story is mine, but the way belongs to us all.”

Extraordinary Experiences That Changed Lives

Originally published as Divine Interventions, Bridge Between Worlds is improved and re-designed, with inspiring stories of “extraordinary experiences that changed lives.” It provides an expanded vision of life’s mystery and possibilities. Read cover to cover or enjoy one story each day.

Comments by Dan:

One morning, as I was about to begin a new writing project, friend and fellow author Doug Childers dropped by and suggested that we collaborate on a book. I was about to decline — (I was doing fine writing on my own) — but something about his idea of stories about life’s mystery and miracles intrigued me. Our collaboration resulted in a fascinating collection of true-life stories. They relate dramatic events that point to the possibility of so-called “miraculous” healing and transformation.

You may be moved many times over by these encouraging, uplifting, and well-documented reports about historical icons and little-known men and women from all walks of life, which remind us all that life is more than it appears — and so are we.

Peaceful Warrior: The Graphic Novel

The graphic novel form exists in its own special realm, brought to life by writer and illustrator. It represents an art form midway between the text novel and motion picture.  In fact, PEACEFUL WARRIOR: The Graphic Novel is based upon Dan’s original script — his vision of the film adaptation as it might have been; and illustrated by Andrew Winegarner.

No doubt young people, who might not read the original book, will find the graphic novel format inviting and accessible — and makes a great gift for any young person — but it holds equal value for adults as well, because it carries the magic, depth, and inspiring lessons of the original book in a new form.

A Story of Growing Up and Waking Up

From the first page, you will discover many original scenes and story elements not found in either the book or the movie. So if you think you “already know the story,” this re-telling will hold some surprises. But like the original book, this graphic novel reaches out across generations of readers, reminding them of life’s bigger picture, and of their own promise and possibilities.

Return of the Peaceful Warrior

The Hidden School reveals a book within a book, a quest within a quest, and a bridge between worlds.

In the long-awaited conclusion to the international bestselling Peaceful Warrior saga, Dan Millman takes readers on an epic spiritual quest across the world as he searches for the link between everyday life and transcendent possibility.

Continuing his journey from Way of the Peaceful Warrior, Dan moves from Honolulu to the Mojave Desert, and from a bustling Asian city to a secluded forest, until he uncovers the mystery of The Hidden School. While traversing continents, he uncovers lessons of life hidden in plain sight—insights pointing the way to an inspired life in the eternal present.

Along the way, you’ll encounter remarkable characters and brushes with mortality as you explore the nature of reality, the self, death, and finally, a secret as ancient as the roots of this world. Awaken to the hidden powers of paradox, humor, and change. Discover a vision that may forever change your perspectives about life’s promise and potential.

A Peaceful Warrior’s Children’s Book

Young Danny makes a “heroes journey” through an enchanted forest, teaches through his mystical adventure, the power of kindness, perseverance, and courage as he helps to save some forest creatures, and himself. This is a story of survival on a quest toward his highest goals. This book highlights each child’s ability to overcome life’s obstacles.

Comments by Dan:
This magical adventure mirrors the story of my own childhood journey through life. I had intended to write one children’s book (Secret of the Peaceful Warrior) just to explore the genre. But Quest just appeared to me one morning, in a flash, and the story unfolded before my eyes. I wrote it in two hours, then worked for many days to polish and refine it.

I receive many letters from parents and grandparents telling me how youngsters want to hear it again and again.

Within the pages of Dan’s first book, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, Socrates sends Dan out into “the fires of daily life” to learn what he must. During this time of difficulty and disillusion, Dan’s is given a grant to travel around the world. Sacred Journey relates the first part of his travels, as Dan searches for a mysterious woman shaman in a Hawaiian rain forest to find a critical clue that will direct him to a hidden school-the next step on his journey.

In the process, he learns the secret of the three selves and experiences the tower of seven levels, finding joy and grief, insights and love as he explores the hidden realms of the mind, the body, and the spirit.

Comments by Dan:
I first intended to write a small book about “awakening the three selves.” But this story appeared, and my fingers started typing. Written ten years after Way of the Peaceful Warrior, and reflecting new and hidden teachings I had since learned from an unusual teacher, Sacred Journey takes readers to a deeper understanding of our lives.

Creating Success in Sport and Life

This book is completely revised and updated guidebook (formerly titled The Warrior Athlete, then The Inner Athlete). It reveals how your training in golf, tennis, other sports, dance, martial arts, or music, can accelerate skill learning, increase talent, and enhance the quality of your everyday life.

Comments by Dan:
Body Mind Mastery has been called a classic in the field of holistic sports training. A result of my years of training as a world-class athlete, and coaching at Stanford and elsewhere, this book is my gift to golfers, tennis players, dancers, musicians, and martial artists everywhere. Whether one is a beginner or master, this book outlines a new way of training –a way to develop talent while remembering the higher purpose and hidden benefits of training.

I’ve received letters from opera teachers, dog and horse trainers, and many musicians to relate how the principles, practices, and perspectives in this book have radically improved their attitudes and skills. Even for top athletes, this book offers reminders about the hidden purpose and potential. Ultimately, it’s not about dedicating your life to your training; it’s about dedicating your training to your life.

If you, or someone you know, engages in a sport or game, they will find Body Mind Mastery an encouraging guidebook for putting more into their game, and getting more out of life.

The Creative Compass: An Introduction:

Interview with the co-authors:

A Peaceful Warrior’s Children’s Book

This award-winning book — one of several recommended by book chains to help children understand principles of conflict resolution — resulted from a wonderful collaboration between Dan and artist/illustrator Taylor Bruce. It tells the story of a young boy who learns to face his fears (and a neighborhood bully) not by fighting or running away, but by applying a wonderful secret. Aided by a young girl and an old man named Socrates, Danny learns what it means to live like a peaceful warrior.

Comments by Dan:
One day, my publisher, Linda Kramer, asked, “Dan, do you think you could write a book for children that conveys some of the lessons and inspiration in Way of the Peaceful Warrior?” I thought about it. This book, along with my other children’s book, was my response.

I read the manuscript to children from four to ten years old, to classes of kids who gave me great feedback and suggestions. I had young children of my own who also helped. Neither preachy nor didactic, it is nonetheless a teaching tale, conveying higher values to children even as they are drawn into a real-world adventure. If you have children or know any, give them this gift.
