This book is based on the story of Dan Millman, a world champion athlete who journeys into realms of flesh and spirit, romance and terror, light and darknes, laughter and magic. Guided by a powerful old warrior named Socrates, tempted by an elusive, playful woman named Joy, Dan is led toward a final confrontation which will deliver or destroy him. Join Dan as he learns what it means to die – and live – like a warrior.
