When a sudden death forces Sergei to flee, he escapes into the wilderness. From the heights of love to the depths of despair, from the threat of a mortal enemy to the search for a child he has never met, Sergei Ivanov's odyssey unlocks hidden wisdom at the heart of life. He could never have imagined that from the moment of his birth he was destined to become the peaceful warrior who would change the lives of millions worldwide. The odyssey that unfolds is not about the revolutions of history, but about the revolution in one man's heart. A stirring story emerges as Sergei encounters mentors and masters who reveal secrets about the arts of war and, ultimately, the path to peace. Average Rating:
![]() Rating: - Much to contemplateA profoundly beautiful book, describing the harrowing early life of Millman's mentor as he suffers through unimaginable tragedies in order to emerge as the wise man we know as Socrates in Millman's other warrior tales. Although not as openly instructive as Way of the Warrior, I found this book affected me even more deeply. I can't go into the details without giving away the story, but I would suggest that anyone who has experienced sorrow, loss or has suffered at the hands of other ...

Like all good books, this book made me want to cry, laugh, and smile during different moments in the book. This book made me contemplate about my own life and how our ancestors struggled with life during their earlier existence. The biggest gift this book has given me is the understanding that life is full of struggles and hardships but nothing is more valuable ... Read More Rating: - Even better than The Way of the Peaceful WarriorThe Journeys of Socrates is about Socrates' life before he met Dan Millman. It is a fast and interesting read, and I found myself totally unwilling to put the book down. I am not a die hard Dan Millman fan. Some of his books are a little too fluffy for me. But I found this book to be more than interesting on many levels, with many timeless truths interwoven into a great story that touches the spirit of what it is to be human and what it is to seek for the truth. This book grabbed my heart and ... Read More Rating: - More like a fantasy novelThough well written and interesting in some ways, this books relies too much on unlikely coincidences and the mystical or superhuman capabilities of its characters. Also, too many of the plot twists are telegraphed to the reader in advance, and in a fashion that is really too obvious. Rating: - The Journeys of SocratesDan Millman's third book in the Peaceful Warrior Saga is superb. The life of his mentor, that started him on the journey to a better way of life, is as well written as all his other books. It is amazing what the human being & spirit can endure and come out stronger for it. All the hardships of Socrates growing up, the mentors he sought out, and the peace he acquired from it all, is a testimony to us all that we can all find peace within and without. For many years now I have believed we are all teachers ... Read More
