I'm in the middle of this book now and finding it rich with solid information and encouragement. We need new paradigms, open minds and hearts today and I'm in favor of anything that helps us get there. I like how he clearly tries to be open to all the traditions and focuses on the needs of human beings in practical, sensible ways that anyone can read, understand and perhaps try.
A very interesting guide book to a sort of universal spirituality; i read many parts of this over 15 years ago as an extension of men's work i was engaged in. took away some interesting perspectives which i have failed miserably at applying to my own life!!!!
I felt that this book actually brought about more change in my life than "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior" did. This is a truly inspirational book and is a must have in your collection.

Pokud někdo zametá ulice, aby si vydělal na živobytí, měl by je zametat tak, jako Michelangelo maloval, jako Beethoven skládal, jako Shakespeare psal.
I liked this even more than Dan Millman's other books, because it seemed to go a bit deeper. Have reread parts several times and still love it!
This was a continuation of "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior". I really enjoyed it delved deeper that the first book.
great everyday guide to life...should be a staple for human existance.
I think that this is one of the most important books for living every day life and being aware of the joy that can be found in life. This book will increase both your awareness of your surroundings and the joy you take in living because (as the title suggests) there are NO ordinary moments. Some of the exercises work and some don't... which ones do or don't depends on the personality and preferences of the individual reader. Overall, this book gives one a calming sense with the vitality of knowi...more

Difinately one of my favourites!
Food for the heart.

I just watched a movie last week called Peaceful Warrior, about a gymnast who's inspired by a mythical, elderly gas station attendant. The movie is based on the life of it's writer, whom also wrote No Ordinary Moments. Some people may find this to be sluggish and "another run-of-the-mill" self help books, but it's so much more. Read between the lines and you'll discover so much more.
This was a really boring book. The author doesn't seem to have any background on the area of self-help which it tries to publicise it under.
It's nothing more than the lower bottom of self-help books, disguised as spiritual journey mixed with stories the author tries to pass as his own.
This is the typical book to be shown in an Oprah's episode.

I really loved this book. It was easy to read, loaded with practical advice that wouldn't scare anyone off as being too out there. Dan really has a way to relate to the average Jo out there, to set out an easy starting point and to make spiritual lessons seem ordinary, even though the book is called No Ordinary Moments.
Dan Millman (the author) melds zen philosophy with principles taken from a number of the major religions to form a life guide. You may not agree will a the principles with in the text but you will still benefit from the introspection the book forces you to conduct.
I read this book frequently. It can always send a message which has purpose in my life now. It reminds me not to let the world around me draw my focus away from my greatest joys; introspection and self-evaluation leading to a deeper understand of self and self improvement.
It builds on the foundation on being a peaceful warrior from a person's core level and up. Great for Dan Millman enthusiasts and those practicing interrelated spiritual disciplines.
I read it everyday to remind myself that there are no ordinary moments and every single day is especial. There it it goes, another moment that I can not get back.
great shorter bk on life. He defines three main aspects of life, basic needs, mental needs, and spiritual needs. A good build on his original books.

Wonderful thought changing book that helps you get your head together... I re-read it every couple of months.
Simple guide on simple things you can do to improve the quality of your life - the "Peaceful Warrior's" way.
A book with fascinatiing insight into viewing life and it's experiences with new perspective.
I think this was kind of a summary/follow up to the other two.
A follow on book to The Peaceful Warrior.
There are no ordinary moments.
STEPS IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION!
