Way of the Peaceful Warrior- Dan Millman

Significance-

Way of the Peaceful Warrior is a significant book due to the life experiences that the author had. Dan Millman, if you think about it, already has everything: He is a professional, well known athlete, he is a bright, college student, attending an Ivy League university. Other people would think that he has it all.
However, that wasn't how Dan Millman felt. Though he had all the good characteristics, along with the best opportunities and experiences, he still had the feeling that he wasn't happy and that something was still missing from his life.
All of this slowly began to change when he met Socrates, who became his mentor in life. This book teaches us that material things can not buy our happiness. It teaches us that finding our happiness in our lives consist a long, harsh journey. Way of the Peaceful Warrior is a book about guiding you through your journey to happiness, and helping you find your inner self.

Perspective-

This novel was written by Dan Millman. It was told from the perspectives of Dan Millman and Socrates. (mainly Socrates though ). Both have very interesting experiences in life. However, there is quite a difference between both. Socrates, a wise old man, had already found peace and happiness in life. During the novel, it was mostly Socrates who was talking, and pointing out different perspectives of life, while giving Dan Millman more knowledge, and of course, the opportunity to seek his own peace and happiness.

Evidence-
Dan Millman's struggle to seek his inner self, along with his own peace and happiness in life leads him to an unknown disappointment, and along with that disappointment is a haunted feeling that he often got. With late night talks with Socrates, he wished that he could be able to understand Socrates. As time passed by, Dan slowly began to understand everything that Socrates had thought him, bringing him to his most powerful success.

Connections-
This book relates to the real world, because like I've been trying to explain, there are a lot of people who are seeking peace and happiness in their lives. In my opinion, this book has been influenced by the past, mainly because the seek for happiness is something that started in the past, and I guess you can say, something that has never ended, and never really will. This book affects the future, because it is a book that will help guide you through your journey to happiness, if you ever decide to go on that journey.

Suppositon-
If i changed part of the book, I think that the whole book would be quite useless, due to the fact that each and every sentence in this book has a great significance. For that matter, I think that the book can not afford to be changed one bit, when it comes to the true matters of the book.
