Elaboration on certain topics discussed in “Way of the peaceful warrior” by the same author. It makes sense to read this book only if you read and liked “Way of the peaceful warrior” book.
Though I thought the Way of the Peaceful Warrior was quite straightforward it turns out that there were things that needed to be explained, and it was also nice to get some more info from 'behind the scenes' :)
One of the best books I have ever read, This book has changed my life. I came from from a place of having a good childhood, blessed parents who bought me everything , and got mostly what i wanted in life. Yet, I was lonely, alone on the inside, materialistic things couldn't buy me happiness anymore. I have a job that I hated, I was in pursuit of girls after girls, and was going through a depressed, hatred, "Why me" attitude in life, till I found a Socretas at work who told me to watch the movie.
I watched the movie which opened my heart and mind, and I have read this book twice, read the "The way of the peaceful warrior book " and watched the movie over 3 times!.
Now I have completely changed, happy going to work, and being happy most of the time
This is a MUST READ book for anyone, who wants to find inner peace , inner joy , and to be present.
The "companion" to "The way of the peaceful warrior," in which he really overexplains all the lessons in the former book. Unnecessary. But then, I got something out of being reminded of some of these simple truths again.
This is THE book that changed my life literally. It suggested yoga as a way to learn to meditate...I am now a full time yoga instructor, and am truly happy.
