Always the best part of these threads....new ideas and authors to try!
I first read millman’s Way of the Peaceful Warrior in high school at the suggestion of my guidance counselor. I re-read it last summer along with several of the other books in the series and The Journeys of Socrates too. Way has aged somewhat gracefully and I was surprised how much had stayed with me all these years (I also reread Pirsig’s Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance, which I’d also read in high school, and again was surprised how much I’d internalized). For me Way is the quintessential Millman book. I enjoyed Journeys but found it a bit too contrived and pat with too much reliance on the supernatural. Still, a worthy read, and some people will find these aspects to be strengths.
