We are thrilled to introduce Dan Millman, who’s been transforming humanity for over 40 years, with his dedicated work on personal development and human potential. Author of PEACEFUL HEART, WARRIOR SPIRIT: the True Story of my Spiritual Quest, Dan is a former world trampoline champion, Stanford University gymnastics coach, martial arts instructor, and college professor. His 18 books are published in 29 languages and his first book, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, was adapted to film in 2006.
As we mark the 2-year anniversary of the April 18-19th mass shooting in NS, we are so moved that Dan opened his schedule up to be with Sophia and I and give this gift to our people, many of whom are still hurting and confused.
For what would have been Lisa’s 51st birthday, I, Jenny, posted this quote from Way of The Peaceful Warrior “Be happy now, without reason - or you never will be at all.” We started our chat by discussing the idea of happiness and how it’s possible to experience joy even amidst the grieving process.
Dan exquisitely described the crushing pain of grief and how it softens over time, allowing us to move from grief into gratitude. He makes mention of mud and stars and how we always have a choice to see mud or stars in every moment.
He then describes success as making progress toward a meaningful goal and emphasizes the importance of taking action, sometimes small action, to help move us into a different place when we’re suffering. Dan invites us all to consider what we want to bring into the world, and the answer is something we can all work toward.
We are most grateful for Dan’s wisdom teachings and we encourage you to visit: www.PeacefulWarrior.com for his books, events, online courses, and free life-purpose calculator.
We are also deeply grateful to you, our listeners and friends, for walking this path with us as we work to create meaningful change in the wake of the NS tragedy.
