If there is a motto of the book it's this quote, which I've had on my wall since I first read this book: I remember walking through the hallway in my high-school practicing breathing and mindfulness. I felt like I was starting to wake up. This also marked the beginning of me purging friends who weren’t on board with self-development and instead forming new and fulfilling connections.Way of the Peaceful Warrior began my own journey as a writer and teacher. I’ve been blessed by thousands of letters I’ve received over the years. When I wrote it, I had no idea that so many people, young and old, from different walks of life, would find my story so inspiring. Over the years I’ve asked myself why. I believe it’s because my story also touched upon universal themes-our common quest for meaning and purpose and direction. Somehow it reminds readers of what they had always known but forgotten — the bigger picture and essential perfection of our lives unfolding.
