The Four Purposes of Life was born from Dan Millman's decades-long search to make sense of life. He distills decades of experience into a concise map of the journey -- the full scope of what we're each here to accomplish here on planet Earth. 

It puts together, for the first time, essential elements from the "peaceful warrior teachings" in their full and proper context --- providing a burst of clarity to bring our lives into sharper focus.  This backstage tour of life begins with the proposition that we are here to fulfill (not one but) four purposes:

  1. Learning Life's Lessons
  2. Finding Your Career and Calling
  3. Fulfilling Your Hidden Life Path
  4. Attending to This Arising Moment

A few highlights include:

  • the higher purpose of daily life
  • twelve required lessons in the school of life
  • how to make better decisions in career and relationships
  • the qualities of leadership no matter who you are
  • a mysterious system to clarifying your hidden calling
  • keys to mastering the most important purpose of all

Prepare for a quantum leap in self-knowledge, insight, and wisdom to light your way, expand your awareness, and improve the quality of your life. The seeds planted by this remarkable book will bear fruit for years to come.

Dan Millman has spent a lifetime working to bring out the best in people, whether coaching athletes or helping people along the path of self-discovery. His new book reflects a deep understanding of human nature combined with a results-oriented pragmatism that is a refreshing change. He cuts straight to why we’re here, how to find our own best path through life, how to find our spiritual purpose, and how to transform what we learn into action.

For example, he says that we don’t need to always feel compassionate, peaceful, confident, courageous, happy, or kind—we only need to behave that way. It is like the courage shown by a warrior in combat. It is virtually certain that he experiences fear, yet he moves into danger nonetheless. He behaves like a brave man, and so he is one. That is also the heart of the Peaceful Warrior’s way.

This little gem of a book is full of helpful insights, including a surprisingly accurate tool based on the numerology of your birthday. His life-purpose calculator is available free on his website, peacefulwarrior.com. Warmly recommended.

For those seeking direction, facing a challenge, dealing with change, or stuck in the same old, same old, Dan Millman offers practical steps for living a meaningful life. After decades of spiritual exploration, the author of Way of the Peaceful Warrior discovered four primary purposes to fulfillment. These include learning from life’s lessons, finding a meaningful career and calling, discovering one’s life path and living fully in the present moment. Drawing on ideas from his previous books, Millman uses subconscious time travel, birth numbers and other techniques to helps us clarify our goals and transform our everyday life into one of meaning and purpose.
