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!

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.

Life Changing

I read "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior" prior to "The Rise of Socrates". These books radiate deep into my soul as if The Universe & God meant for me to hear their messages exactly at this moment in my life. They have woken up to life on mpre levels than I can begin to describe. The philosophies & inspirations drive every principle that I put into my company, my life's work, & my time I have here on this beautiful world. Thank you!

Any additional comments?

I was so shocked of Dan's revelation at the end. I read his first book, The Peaceful Warrior a long time ago, and just didn't see the connection coming at the end.
