A Peaceful Warrior's Way to Wellness

$40

Today, information and misinformation about health flood popular books and magazines. Modern medicine breaks new ground even as holistic professionals rediscover ancient wisdom. What remains is for us to integrate this information into our own lives and turn what we know into what we do.

 
The Peaceful Warrior's Way, as presented by Dan Millman, brings a refreshing balance to the arena of wellness that embraces east and west, science and mysticism, faith and reason.
 

Topics may include:
• three keys to health and vitality
• overcoming stress and tension
• healing power of the subconscious
• turning knowledge to action

 
No matter what the topics, Dan offers sensible reminders and realistic strategies for sustainable wellness; living at the peak of our genetic potential for physical, emotional and spiritual health -- living with a peaceful heart and warrior spirit.
 

Dan is a former world-champion athlete, university coach, martial arts instructor, and college professor. His 14 books have inspired millions of readers in 29 languages. The peaceful warrior's way evolved from the world of sport to worldwide research and guidance by brilliant mentors to his calling as author and teacher. Dan shares perspectives, principles and practices easily integrated into everyday life, reminding us about "what we all know at deeper levels but tend to forget." His keynotes and seminars have influenced leaders in the fields of health, psychology, education, business, sports, and the arts. Married for 30 years, he has three grown daughters and "two grandsons so far." Dan's first book, Way of the Peaceful Warrior, was written in 1980 and recently adapted to a major motion picture starring Nick Nolte. His books, which include Sacred Journey of the Peaceful Warrior (a Hawaiian odyssey), No Ordinary Moments (a guide to daily life), The Life You Were Born to Live (finding your life purpose), The Laws of Spirit (a tale of transformation), Everyday Enlightenment (twelve gateways to spiritual growth), Body Mind Mastery (a training guide), Living on Purpose (the house rules), The Journeys of Socrates (an inspiring novel), and Wisdom of the Peaceful Warrior (an essential companion to his first book), together serve as a comprehensive course in living.

Courageous Dreaming

$35

Whether you realize it or not, we are all dreaming the world into being.  What we’re engaging in is not the sleeping dream we’re familiar with, but the waking dream we craft with our eyes open. When we’re unaware that we all share the power to co-create reality with the help of the Universe itself, that power slips away from us and our dream turns into a nightmare. We begin to feel we’re the victims of an unknown and frightening creation that we’re unable to influence or change. Events seem to control us and trap us. The only way to end this dreadful reality is to awaken to the fact that it, too, is a dream, and recognize our ability to write a better story, one that the Universe will work with us to manifest. The nature of the cosmos is such that whatever dream you have about yourself and the world will become reality.
  As soon as you awaken to your power to dream, you begin to flex the muscles of your courage. Then you can dream bravely: letting go of your limiting beliefs and pushing past your fears. You can begin to create truly original dreams that germinate in your soul and bear fruit in your life.
