Summary

The Four Purposes of Life was born from Dan Millman's decades-long search to make sense of life. He distills decades of experience into a concise map of the journey - the full scope of what we're each here to accomplish here on planet Earth.

It puts together, for the first time, essential elements from the "peaceful warrior teachings" in their full and proper context --- providing a burst of clarity to bring our lives into sharper focus. This backstage tour of life begins with the proposition that we are here to fulfill (not one but) four purposes:

  • 1. Learning Life's Lessons
  • 2. Finding Your Career and Calling
  • 3. Fulfilling Your Hidden Life Path
  • 4. Attending to This Arising Moment

A few highlights include:

  • the higher purpose of daily life
  • twelve required lessons in the school of life
  • how to make better decisions in career and relationships
  • the qualities of leadership no matter who you are
  • a mysterious system to clarifying your hidden calling
  • keys to mastering the most important purpose of all

A purposeful guide

An interesting perspective of finding life’s purpose. I’ll definitely read/listen to other books of this author.

Articulate, concise and to the point on vision and purpose

Lovely full bodied almost summary of all the main take seats from Dan’s books honing in on the main message of living a life full of purpose and on point with our unique vision. Every book this man writes speaks to thr heart of the matter and can help, I feel, almost anyone find peace in themselves with respect to this collective journey we’re all on if only ready and brave enough to take this leap of faith. Thank you Dan for being one of my fave and most effective teachers along my life’s path.

Nothing special

Very basic stuff. He lost me at "life number" to find your life path. There are so many books with deeper content in Audible

Good takes, lacking credibility.

First two chapters are giving beautiful ideas and insights about life paths and choises.
Unfortunately the numerology presented on chapter 3 took my attention and belief away.
Easy to listen, just take what isrjerefor you, for me it was half of the book worth it.

Good tips

I loved the little tips for mindful everyday life, and I was giving this a better rating, since there was little mention of specific religion, hut then the epilogue ruined that. You can be spiritual without religion!

Thought this is a proper book until chapter 4

I thought this is a serious personal development book, until I entered chapter 4 where by the author turns this book into horoscope.

Yeah right, your life path determined by your DOB turned into number and decide your path.
