Reseñas de la Crítica

"Millman's fluid storytelling makes this an easy read." (Publishers Weekly)

One for the history books

loved it. Makes me want to look into my own family history because we all have stories from wherever we came from.

Best book I've ever read!

I have read a lot of books in my life.. Some of them stand out as being exceptional. "The Journeys of Socrates" is the one book that stands above them all. Read "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior" first, also by Dan Millman, or at least watch the movie. It will give you context that you will appreciate when you read this one. Both are excellent books!

Life changer

This is my favorite book ever, but read it also because this version is slightly abridged

Fascinating!

Once I become accustomed to the Narrator's speaking style during the reading of this book, I found myself addicted to the story of Sergei. I hard a difficult time pausing to eat or sleep. I became hungry, hungry for more chapters, and hungry to hear what lie ahead. I felt as if I were traveling along with Sergei each and every step.
My only regret was that the story came to an end. How I wish I had a mentor like Sergei.

An outstanding book that moves the soul.

It's so true that life has many paths. This book embodies the path that matters most.

Wonderful story with deep life lessons

If you could sum up The Journeys of Socrates in three words, what would they be?

All of the life lessons. The only important time is here and now. The joy, happiness and peace in life comes from the journey, not the destination. Many more.

Fantastic Story

I was totally captivated by this book. I couldn't put it down. It has both emotional highs and lows. Some great insights into life and a great ending.

Profound and edge grabbing story

Amazing story, it grabbed me all the way through. each time I couldn't wait to see what comes next.
Performance is amazing.
Most importantly, like in "The way of the peaceful warrior", the book made me think and realise new things about my life and life in general.
