title: Way of The Peaceful Warrior
---
[Knowledge/Books/Way of The Peaceful Warrior]] is one of the most important books for me. Its narrative resonates very much with me and has had a huge impact on me over the years. It is a book that I return to several times a year. It represents for me the absolute #1 in my collection of books.
This is the autobiography of Dan Millman - World Champion in gymnastics, and on the surface it is a simple story of a man who overcame adversity on the way to achieving his goals.
It is worth adding that a great movie 'Peaceful Warrior' was based on this book. If you want to start with something, start with it.
## Cytaty
- _There are no ordinary moments, there is always something going on_.
- _It is not important what you know, but what you do with it_.
- _Never struggle with anyone or anything. When you're pushed, pull; when you're pulled, push_
## Lekcje
- It made me understand the role played by [[Knowledge/Thoughts/Expectations]]
- The road to the destination is a significant part of the journey
- There are no ordinary moments - appreciate every one of them
- Leverage ([[Knowledge/Mental models/Leverage]]) applied at the right place and time can work wonders
## Akcje
- I have abandoned the [[Knowledge/Dictionary/Goal]]designation in favor of implementing [[Knowledge/Dictionary/Process]]s that bring me closer to the designated [[Knowledge/Dictionary/Direction]]
- Combined with [[Knowledge/Books/The Infinite Game]] and [[Knowledge/Books/The Compound Effect]], I changed my focus to the long-term. Adding [[Knowledge/Thoughts/Discipline]] with [[Knowledge/Books/Extreme Ownership]] made passing time my greatest friend.
