ⓘ About Dan Millman

Dan Millman is a published author and lecturer. Born on February 22, 1946, Daniel Jay Millman is not only a professional fiction author but has been an athlete at the world champion level, a coach at the university level, an instructor of martial arts, and a professor at a college. He was born in Los Angeles and has a sister named Diane. He spent much of his life on a spiritual quest. After years, his teaching was able to finally find its form in the way of the warrior. This has been further expressed in his writing. Peaceful Warrior was made into a 2006 movie directed by Victor Salva starring Nick Nolte as Socrates. Even though he has found his voice, like so many others, the work that he does continues to change and grow.
