New Consciousness Review

Oct 06 2011

Welcome to the debut show of New Consciousness Review. Today we are speaking with Dan Millman, a former world champion athlete, university coach, martial arts instructor and college professor, and an author of fourteen books, the most famous of which is the semi-autobiographical novel, Way of the Peaceful Warrior (1980), which was adapted into a feature film starring Nick Nolte. In this interview we will discuss his latest book, The Four Purposes of Life, in which he puts together for the first time essential elements from the peaceful warrior teachings in their full context. Dan distills his lifetime experience into a concise map of the journey — the full scope of what we’re each here to accomplish on planet Earth, including Learning Life’s Lessons, Finding Your Career and Calling and Fulfilling Your Hidden Life Path.
