The Peaceful Warrior Way to Fulfillment and Inner Peace - Dan Millman | 115

Dan Millman joins The Grateful Podcast to reveal the deeper truths behind The Way of the Peaceful Warrior. At 18, I’m the same age Dan was when his real journey with “Socrates” began—and this conversation bridges that gap in a way I’ve never heard before.

We dive into why you can’t control your feelings, why your actions shape your life far more than your thoughts, why young people feel so lost, the real meaning of presence, how to handle stress, and why “effort over time” is the most important spiritual practice there is.

Dan also shares his 4-minute daily meditation that has changed thousands of lives, the myth of motivation, what flow state really is, and how gratitude becomes powerful only when it shifts from emotion to behavior.  

If you’ve ever felt burned out, scattered, or stuck in your own head, this episode will reconnect you with the peace and clarity you’ve been looking for.
clarity you’ve been looking for.
