Episode 174 with Dan Millman - The Way of the Peaceful Warrior
On this episode we talk with Dan Millman, a former world champion athlete, Stanford University gymnastics coach, martial arts instructor and Oberlin College professor. His 18 books are published in 29 languages. His first book, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, was adapted to film in 2006. Over a span of 40 years, in 32 countries, Dan has taught the "peaceful warrior's way," a practical approach to living an aware, purposeful, and healthful life.
Dan talks about his journey, from gymnast to author, how his diverse mentors shaped his integrated approach emphasizing practical spirituality and conscious action. Focusing on present actions over emotions and thoughts, noting our tendency to dwell on past and future yet the reality that only the now exists for our conscious experience.
Dan asserted we control only our actions, not feelings or thoughts, advising behaving constructively regardless of internal states since actions shape our lives and futures. Resolving paradoxes by accepting multiple viewpoints, as both conventional and transcendent truths can coexist depending on perspective, like time being real yet eternal now.
Embracing each moment through non-resistance while maintaining goals for fulfilling journeys, exemplifying courses in life's school through presence, purpose and small consistent efforts. 12 life courses including self-worth, will, health, money, mind, intuition, emotions, fears, shadow-work, heart, and service, to understand life's lessons and turn knowledge to action.
