The Hidden School: Return of the Peaceful Warrior Audiobook, by Dan Millman

Publisher 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.

"I loved Millman's Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior but this book, written about 20 years later, is even better. The story,perportedly true, is well developed and very exciting in showing Socrates (not the famous philosopher)journey both physically and spiritually to become self-actualized. The book emphasizes how one can raise conciousness both internally and externally with regard to one's own body and the physical world. While not philisophically challenging, the added dimention makes this book much more that just another great adventure. If you like this book, read Trader by Charles de Lint."

    " The Journeys of Socrates began slowly, but I found myself being drawn in by the story and eventually couldn't put the book down. The book makes you think about your own beliefs on how life should be lived and I guess I found that some of the 'lessons' taught were in line with my own ideas on life. This book may not appeal to all people, as there are many who do not wish to question themselves, but it is well worth the read. "

    " I highly recommend this book to all kind of readers. The way Dan describes every single action is just way too vivid that every single loss that Sergei went through was so real. Even when his first horse died I almost shed tears! lol haha. But the book itself is a journey that everybody should know. I personally think it is better than Alchemist. The only regret I have is finding this book only 8 years after it has been published. If only I have read is sooner... "

    " Really good. The fiction was alright, not the best I've seen. But I'm a sucker to all the Peaceful Warrior references and the self cleansing philosophy it promotes. I would recommend reading Way of the Peaceful Warrior first, it will help anyone appreciate this book. "
