Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In nineteenth century Tsarist Russia an orphaned child born of Jewish and Cossack blood grows up in a land of wealthy aristocrats, struggling peasants, and growing discontent.Sent to an elite military academy at the tender age of four, Sergei Ivanov (Socrates) comes of age training to protect a way of life he doesn't understand. 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.

The 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 put me back in touch with it!
If you have read The Way of the Peaceful Warrior and enjoyed it even a little, then you will most certainly love this book.
One doesn't have to have read The Way of the Peaceful Warrior to enjoy this book- it can stand alone- but it certainly packs more of a wallop if you've read The Way of the Peaceful Warrior first. Enjoy!

Though 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.

Dan 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 and we are all students. No matter who comes into your life, they can teach you something. Student: Open up your mind and allow yourself to be taught by one of the best in our Universe... you will be blessed indeed!

This hard bound book arrived fast and as described. I haven't read this yet, but the book is in excellent condition. I am looking forward to discovering more about Socrates and how he came to his wisdom.

I don't even know why I am bothering to listen... except for the hope that eventually this will get better. Maybe it will. I'm on disk 4 out of 5 and it seems to be picking up.
I read his other book: Way of the Peaceful Warrior and really enjoyed it. It doesn't seem like this Socrates can be the same person? Oh well. I'll keep listening.
All in all, I think Dan is a good author.
