Why read it?

I really enjoy inspirational books written as stories that use life events to portray messages.
It's an easy read coupled with a great story filled with powerful messages. What appeals to me is that the story is captivating and simple. I find in today’s world everything is over-complicated and drawn out.
Dan Millman captures you immediately and the messages are attainable for every normal person and understandable as well - isn’t that what a book should be about?
From Wolfgang's list on inspiration that bring out the magic in your life.
This book offers both a first hand story and a great guide to finding your own practice. Dan Millman lived this experience and he shares it beautifully. This booked inspired me to seek more practical experiences in meditation and a spiritual life.
From Solan's list on meditation for living in the "now".
