His down-to-earth work has been an instrumental part of the human potential movement and is known for its seamless combination of eastern and western philosophies, science and mysticism, and faith and reason. Since the 1980s, Millman has written 16 books that have been translated into 29 different languages. He journeyed to Japan, Hawaii, Hong Kong, and India to train in various disciplines and shifted his focus from sports to personal and spiritual growth. Though he succeeded in training several champions including Olympian Steve Hug, he still yearned to have a greater affect on people’s day-to-day lives. Feeling that his own athletic performance only benefitted himself, Millman decided to become a coach at Stanford University so that he could be a positive influence on others. Much like his protagonist in Way of the Peaceful Warrior, Millman had won several prestigious titles while in high school and college, including the United States Gymnastics Federation titles in trampoline and floor exercise, the 1964 Trampoline World Championships, and the 1968 NCAA all around team championship. The athlete-turned-coach embarked on a decade long journey that resulted in the internationally best-selling book Way of the Peaceful Warrior, which was later adapted into the 2006 film Peaceful Warrior. Millman translates metaphysical concepts into down-to-earth advice that has resonated with audiences at Apple Computer, the International Conference on Business and Consciousness, Planet Antares/Sales and Management Training, and numerous other leading organizations.Ĭhampionship gymnast Dan Millman’s career took an unconventional turn when he began to ask himself if it were possible to train people in the art of living.A world champion athlete and coach who shifted his focus to personal development, Millman's work has been a pillar of the Human Potential Movement.Millman's international best-selling book, Way of the Peaceful Warrior continues to inspire millions of people decades after its release.
