Summary

"Even after writing twelve books since his first, fantastically successful work Way of the Peaceful Warrior, writer and teacher Dan Millman never directly addressed the many questions posed or the issues raised in his most successful book. At many points in the narrative the old warrior Socrates as he schools his young student Dan makes outrageous statements, provoking more questions than answers. When Dan presses him to explain, he shrugs and says, "It's the House Rules". Now for the first time, Dan takes more than 100 of the book's most interesting and enigmatic passages and with his clear, playful style explores the key ideas behind them, showing their genesis in spiritual philosophies old and new. Dan draws on twenty-five years of experience since first writing the book and reveals an evolving sensibility and perspective. From even the most mysterious passages, he draws prescriptive, practical lessons that readers can apply directly to their lives. From explicating seemingly paradoxical statements or applying essential teachings to our toughest life questions, Dan Millman gives readers fresh insight and wisdom. Whether readers are coming to Way of the Peaceful Warrior for the first time after seeing the new movie adaptation of the book or are one of the book's legions of long-time fans, The Peaceful Warrior Companion will deepen their experience of this beloved spiritual classic."
