People think millions of useless thoughts each day. In other words, to not letyour, `mind', get in the way of your brain.

The message between the mind andbrain is to not let your brain be attacked by random useless thoughts.

You read thisbook and try to realize the hidden messages being put across. But as I read each word I found truth to what Socrates was saying. The difference between the mind and brain is not something most think about in theirregular lives. Another strength of this book, is obviously the way it makes you think about the steps itshows. This way of separating thesetwo simples words allows the reader to think about what the book is saying, and to figure out ifthere is truth to what the book says. The brain is real the mind isn't.' He later explains how the mind is all the random uncontrolledthoughts that cloud your brain, and how the mind is a useless tool. The proper definition relates to your level of consciousness.' Socrates states andcontinues to explain how the brain has abstract processes of dealing with information called, 'theintellect.' He adds, 'Nowhere have I mentioned mind. 'Mind is one of those slippery termslike love. Socrates shows him thatthere aren't any great minds, that there are only great brains. Danquestions the positive uses for the mind and the great minds in history. In one section, Socrates shows Dan the difference between the brain and the mind. Socrates shows Dan how a warrior looks at several simple aspects of life unlike the normalhuman. In most cases it is Socrates showing the ignorant Dan the differences between theirlives. It shows the manysteps it takes to become, 'a warrior.' The biggest strength of this book is the way these steps areportrayed. This book shows life in a way you may have never thought of before. The missing piece of the puzzle that is Dan Millman. This spiritual journey shows Dan a side of life never seen byhis own eyes before, and guides him to his final conflict that hopefully will help him reach hisdestination he has always yearned for. Through his teachings Dan comesacross an elusive women named Joy. Socrates takes Dan in and tries to create a warrior from a young starathlete with the ignorance of every other human on this earth.

Tobecome a warrior like Socrates and have the mind to not allow the regular struggles of life tocontrol a single part of you. This man,known as Socrates, shows Dan a side of existence that only few people had ever seen. One night while out walking from his dorm, Dancomes across a gas station and a strange man that is soon to turn his life upside down. Set in Berkeley California, a young college student, Dan Millman, struggles to find thepart of himself that has always been missing.

For my independent book project I read the book Way of the Peaceful Warrior, by DanMillman.
