This is the first book of its kind, Spiritual or New Age that I have ever read. I have to admit, I wasn't sure if I would really be able to get into this epic journey after reading the back of the book. It all sounded too strange. Like many who have chosen to read this book, I too hoped it would change my life. .
Many lessons were both taught and learned in this adventure following a young man from having terrible nightmares to his many encounters with the unexpected past, present, and future, to his final days of becoming an enlightened warrior. Some of the extraordinary stories encountered on this path to enlightenment I believe not to be true, while others of seeming importance and grandness, I choose to believe. That is why I feel this book strikes a cord with every reader and impacts each in a specific and meaningful way.
Way of the Peaceful Warrior made me reflect on many, many aspects and questions of life. Some, light and raw; questions and thoughts never before proposed in my mind while others were deeper and more philosophical; questions and thoughts that have reverberated over and over. .
Just as we talk about philosophy and related matters and principles in class, this book opens us up to new thoughts and ideas relative to management and philosophy such as this inspiring quote, "There are no ordinary moments!, and that razor sharp attention must be paid to every moment requiring much more patience than the ordinary person. This quote is a valuable lesson to anyone with any job, no matter what. For everything in the workplace and every employee to be ordinary, would be impossible. For a manager to think and feel this would be a terrible place to work. Satori, a Zen concept occurs when attention rests in the current moment, when the body is alert, sensitive, relaxed, and the emotions are open and free. This is a concept that students looking to enter a management position or related field, should fully try to understand, realize, utilize and implement.
