b'I\'m excited to have a writer who\'s books have shaped my life\'s journey. On the show we have best-selling author, and speaker Dan Millman.

Dan Millman is a former world champion athlete, university coach, martial arts instructor, and college professor.

After an intensive, twenty-year spiritual quest, Dan\\u2019s teaching found its form as the Peaceful Warrior\\u2019s Way. His work continues to evolve over time to meet the needs of a changing world.

Dan\\u2019s eighteen books, including Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives, have inspired and informed millions of readers in 29 languages worldwide. The feature film \\u201cPeaceful Warrior\\u201d was adapted from Dan\\u2019s first book, based upon incidents from his life.

The film is about a young gymnast Dan Millman played by Scott Mechlowicz, and his struggle to make sense of his life in which he is successful but still unfulfilled. By chance he meets his "Yoda"/Shaolin priest/Boss Paul who helps him "git his head straight" after which he goes on to be comfortable with his athletic prowess albeit not exactly Olympic caliber.

There is a lot of jumping around scene wise during which we don\'t know what is dream (part of getting his head straight) or reality showing his maturing personality. He suffers a debilitating physical injury which forces him to work very hard to get back where he was ability wise earlier, but much wiser for successfully negotiating his transformation to wise old Grasshopper. T

Much of Dan\\u2019s time is devoted to speaking. His keynotes, seminars, and workshops span the generations to influence men and women from all walks of life.

His new book is Peaceful Heart, Warrior Spirit: The True Story of My Spiritual Quest.

\\u201cThis story is mine, but the way belongs to us all.\\u201d

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\\u2019s 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.

Enjoy my inspirational conversation with Dan Millman.
