Dan is the personification of ‘love, laugh, live, and give,’ as you will see in his new book, The Four Purposes of Life. In this book, he does it again as only he can.” — Quincy Jones “The Four Purposes of Life is both wise and transformative, filled with beautiful reminders and empowering encouragement.” — Jack Kornfield, author of The Path with Heart “Leave it to Dan Millman to come up with a way of making purposeful decisions and helping us see deeply into the center of each moment...a graceful and wise book.” — Elizabeth Lesser, cofounder of Omega Institute and author of Broken Open “Important reading.” — Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut and author of The Way of the Explorer “Dan Millman, a great teacher, shares important rules to help people everywhere improve their lives, find their passion, do what they love, and live with inspiration.” — Don Miguel Ruiz, author of The Four Agreements “A refreshingly practical yet profound approach to living your sacred calling.” — Peter Russell, author of From Science to God “Dan Millman’s new book distills pearls of wisdom with sim- plicity and power. It’s a wake-up call to live our best life. His personal stories highlight stages we all encounter. Reminding us of our own purpose, Dan shows how to integrate all our knowledge in the present moment. It’s a book we can revisit many times.” — Amy Smart, actress and environmentalist “A wonderful book with extremely helpful practices for finding one’s authentic purpose.
