At times the story was very moving. This is a work of fiction. ( )Loved this book. A lot of insightful gems in here. If you are new to spiritual topics then this is a good beginner's book. If you are an advanced student then there might not be too much here you haven't already heard somewhere else. In any case, it's a short read. Maybe a day or two. This book was far better than the first, it was perhaps because like Dan, I too have felt an outsider all my life, like I did not belong anywhere, searching for something, and as my journey has progressed I have felt like he did, and in a different way exprienced my own awakening. Very inpirational, I feel this book could offer hope to those who have nearly given up their quest for Oneness. This is a in between book which as Dan Millman suggests would be read half way through the first book. Millman states that one should understand that this story takes place, not after but within the peaceful warrior (you could read way of the peaceful warrior to page 184 and then read scared journey in its entirety!). I did feel a bit gutted when i read that as i thought that i had spent time reading the first book to be informed that the second slots in about half away from the first! Anyhow this is a decent book, However i dont think it has left a finger print like the first. The basic story is that after training with Socrates who is his mentor Millman is sent away to apply what he has learnt. He prepares to meet a mysterious woman in Hawaii whom he will meet when the time is right for his to do so. She is his gateway to all his hopes and fears and the only one who can prepare him for the whatever comes next. In esscence this book reminds you of how scared everyday life is, that each day is a journey from which we can learn so much. Life is an adventure, embrace it and learn from it as each step is essentially a learn curve. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0915811332, Paperback)Four years after training with the old warrior he calls Socrates, and in spite of all he has learned, Dan Millman confronts personal failure and growing frustrations. Disillusioned with his life, unable to bridge the gap between knowing and doing, he sets out on a worldwide quest to rediscover his sense of purpose and source of inspiration. A buried memory sends him on a search for a woman shaman deep in a Hawaiian rain forest. She is the gateway to all his hopes and his fears — and only she can prepare him for what is to come. In worlds of shadow and light, he encounters inner tests, mortal challenges, disturbing revelations, and memorable characters in the most crucial quest of his life. This is the sacred journey we all share, says Millman, the journey to the light that shines at the heart of all our lives.
