I was disappointed in this book. After reading the Way of the Peaceful Warrior and being very pleased with it, this book showed me why it is bad to have expectations.
To start with, this book is supposed to take place near the end of the Peaceful Warrior book. Near the end of PW, Dan takes a few months traveling around the world. This book fits in during that trip on the timeline before he meets up with Socrates in the Sierras again. This doesn't really make sense after the events More...

I truly enjoyed the first book that I read by Dan Millman, Way of the Peaceful Warrior (and the movie is not bad either!), but this book was not as good. That being said (really written), I did like many aspects of this book. The only negative that I can think of is that while Mr. Millman is off in India and then Hawaii having all of these fantastical spiritual experiences, his wife and daughter who were living in Ohio at the time, had no idea where he was or if he was ever coming back. I know t

I didn't really get into this book like I did the previous one, "Way of the Peaceful Warrior". That book felt more instructional, more inspirational, while this book seemed a lot more... fantastic - in the sense of the word that means unrealistic and silly. The book takes place several years after the first, and Dan finds himself in a spiritual dilemma. Many of the lessons he learned from his old teacher Socrates are fading and he begins to feel a nagging sense of dissatisfaction wi

I waited awhile before reading this. I guess I was not ready for the message at the time I bought it (September 2004). After reading this book, it's almost like a retreat experience. You remember how clear your head was during the retreat. When you came back to reality, however, things weren't as peachy as you'd hope.
This book is about living that experience of self-discovery every single day. It's about having peace, without ignoring or forgetting the troubles surrounding your More...

I read The Peaceful Warrior a couple of years back as I re-embarked on my own personal (somewhat spiritual) journey, and it was better than I could imagine. I'm not typically a fan of self-help or super-inspirational books, but the philosophical and spiritual lessons that I derived from the Peaceful Warrior surprised me. I had fairly low expectations (despite the hype) of the 2nd book in the series because honestly, I haven't seen many authors that are good enough for me to enjoy sequels. Boy

I have read Millman's first book, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, at least three times, and it just gets better every time. Right now I'm hoping that I'll feel the same way about Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior in the future. I enjoyed the quotes, and the character of Mama Chia, but I somehow didn't quite buy the transformation that happened in Dan's character. The visions and stories didn't make as much sense to me, either.

Overall, good philosophy about how to live life to its fullest and discover joy and meaning from the simple things in life that we take for granted everyday. I thought the concepts of the three selves, and seven level chakras was interesting, and the story line was better than the first book, "The Peaceful Warrior." However, I think it was a little over the top, and the message could have been more straightforward, rather than intertwined in a long, wordy novel.

This is the story of one man’s spiritual quest. It is a mix of fact and fiction from the author’s own experiences. Many were supernatural and very visual. A few key life lessons can be taken from the "Sacred Journey" which includes being kinder and that we are all part of something greater than ourselves.

I haven't read the first book in the series, the way of the peaceful warrior, but so far this book is very good. The characters aren't developed very well and it seems as if every character has the same choice of language. I enjoy the main character who is also the narrator.

This is a sequel to the "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" and explains many years of seeking that were passed over in the first book. Some very interesting concepts are explained in simple terms.

It's an interesting read set on the fabulous island of Molokai. Dan has a way of making you think about life and where you are going. I'm looking forward to reading some more by him.

I loved this book when I read it 20 years ago because it put in practical terms the concept of being in the moment and paying attention to the messages that the universe.

A little bit more New-Agey than the other two books in the series. In Sacred Journey, Dan travels to Hawaii to learn under a Hawaiian shaman woman.

Good to get some more background from the first book, "Way of the Peaceful Warrior." Not quite as fulfilling.
