I read this aged 21 while staying in hospital after suffering complications during minor heart surgery. I can honestly say it made the experience easier.

This book is also an interesting one after the way of peaceful warrior. At some points story goes slow, literally. But over all amazing.

Awesome continuation of the journey, an incredible book with simple but very deep philosophy. I believe that Dan Millman was sent here to help and inspire us.

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 with the direction his life is going (a feeling I'm all too familiar with). So he goes on a journey around the world until he ends up in Hawaii, where he meets a medicine woman, or "kahuna", named Mama Chia, who fills the spot left by Socrates as Dan's new spiritual teacher. Mama Chia was an interesting contrast to Socrates, who always was, and still remains, a mysterious character. Meanwhile, Chia is an open book, a fully developed character, with a past every bit as flawed and bumpy as Dan's. As a result, the two have a different relationship than Dan had with Socrates. They are both peers on the same journey, but Mama Chia has simply been on it longer. Anyway, I didn't take away as much spiritual insight and inspiration as I hoped I would, and the book left me feeling kind of hollow. I recommend reading the previous book, watching the movie adaptation, and move on from there.
