Ep. 84 | Living the Peaceful Warrior's Way with Dan Millman

Dan Millman is a former world champion athlete, university coach, martial arts instructor, and college professor. After an intensive, twenty-year spiritual quest, Dan's teaching found its form as the Peaceful Warrior's Way expressed fully in his books and lectures. Dan's seventeen books, including Way of the Peaceful Warrior, have inspired and informed millions of readers in 29 languages worldwide. The feature film, "Peaceful Warrior," starring Nick Nolte, was adapted from Dan's first book, based upon incidents from his life — and changed my life. The truth is, I couldn't be more excited to have Dan on the Academy podcast to showcase his wisdom to my amazing audience. In this deep, powerful and inspiring episode — you'll discover: Why there are no ordinary moments in life Treat every moment as if it counts, because it does The difference between 'doing' and practicing How comparison is disrespect for our own process The power of realizing how our life is finite Why life offers beautiful paradoxes Finding the balance between focused vision and surrender Why accepting and embracing 'what is' leads to power Understanding that life is a daily classroom for growth Why our level of self-worth helps us avoid self-sabotage The power of dreaming big but starting small in life Why lessons in life will repeat themselves and grow in intensity Why being productive leads to a deeper sense of fulfillment The path and journey of the blockbuster hit Peaceful Warrior ...and so much more in this inspiring conversation.
