"Love love loved this book. Took me less than 24 hours to read. I will read it again before my yoga training in June. It's actually a required reading for the 200-hr yoga training I just signed up for. Trying to get ahead of the game and read all I can to prepare. I've seen the movie many times previously. Both are wonderful." — Ashley (5 out of 5 stars)

" What a phenomenal book that truly inspires. Dan Millman is a fabulous writer. I highly recommend to anyone who enjoys a truly well-written and creative book. "
" Inspirational...helps to give perspective and sight. I find I go back to it. I discovered a movie of it last year and watched it twice...well worth it, it reminded me that we have teachers everywhere available to us...we need to learn to see them and ask for their help. "
" Not worth my trouble to read this book. "
" The writing itself is not remarkable, but the lessons are hard-won. "
" Great book. Not the most eloquently written, but great message overall. Here's my favorite quote: "There are no ordinary moments". "
" It seems to me that most religions (yes, including the one I follow and the one you follow) are based on 90% bullshit and 10% wisdom. Dan Millman has done a good job of following that formula. Let's hope those who are inspired by him can sort the wisdom from the bullshit. "
" I didn't get this book the first time I read it, since I thought I had all my plans for life worked out. Too bad it makes sense now. "
" J'ai vu le film et je veux lire le livre. "
" Thought provoking. Eastern philosophy laced with real life trials of a young man. One of those books that you can read again and again when you need direction or a reminder - What is life about? "
" A friend lent me his book in 2002 , this was my first book that led me into a journey of spirituality , the book itself is great and i love true stories that remind you to be grateful for the things you have in life and to be in the moment because you cannot get it back. "
" A great book for men, who are on their life's journey. "
" Truly changed my life and way of thinking "

" Truly, it is a book that can change lives... "
" I've taken a lot of spiritual direction from this book. "
" Great message to the story but don't really like writing style. The movie is better in my opinion, but can see how a lot of people would find it very cheesy. "
" A great combination of drama and inspiration. "
" The best book I have ever read on life "
" It took me a while to take to this book, but as I read on it began to inspire me and make me see things from a different angle. I ended up really enjoying it and look forward to watching the movie. "
" Not the best written book I've ever read, but it has a good message. Well worth the read! "
" AWESOME!! there are no ordinary moments!! "
" Very good book, very plain, but useful infomation. "
" I generally like to read this book every few years or so, it just gets me in such a good place. Beautifully crafted and full of wisdom and compassion. "

" intriguing book! It gave me a new perspective on life, the meaning of living in the presence and the value of meditation to explore the beauty of the moment. "

" Great message, read well by the author. "
" I really like most of this book. the story was simple but the message was clear...I enjoyed it~ "
" I thought it was okay. I had wanted to read it for a while, so I am happy that I finally did. However, I wish Dan would have given more information about his time on his own, and why he sort of lost his way. "
" all you need to remember is. paradox. humor. change. "
" Total inspiration! Dan's also a wonderful speaker....I spent a weekend with him at Kripalu a couple years back. "
" This book will make you think. Socrates appears to be the personification of the guide Millman follows in his inner journey. "
" Despite Millman's tendency to go a little overboard in the storytelling, I really enjoyed this audiobook (read by Millman). I will definitely be listening to it again. "
