Story
In this interview, Dan Millman explores such questions as: Why am I here? What am I meant to do? What is my purpose? Dan has found through his research that there are four purposes and 12 required courses in the school of life that each of us are taking. He talks about the difference between career and calling, and how small acts of service lead to genuine fulfillment. Dan also explains why what you do has more impact than what you think or feel, and describes a mysterious but accurate method of pinpointing hidden gifts and drives.
By: Dan Millman
Publisher's Summary
The Four Purposes of Life was born from Dan Millman's decades-long search to make sense of life. He distills decades of experience into a concise map of the journey - the full scope of what we're each here to accomplish here on planet Earth.
It puts together, for the first time, essential elements from the "peaceful warrior teachings" in their full and proper context --- providing a burst of clarity to bring our lives into sharper focus. This backstage tour of life begins with the proposition that we are here to fulfill (not one but) four purposes:
- 1. Learning Life's Lessons
- 2. Finding Your Career and Calling
- 3. Fulfilling Your Hidden Life Path
- 4. Attending to This Arising Moment
A few highlights include:
- the higher purpose of daily life
- twelve required lessons in the school of life
- how to make better decisions in career and relationships
- the qualities of leadership no matter who you are
- a mysterious system to clarifying your hidden calling
- keys to mastering the most important purpose of all

Really good...and reeeaally not good
Overall, it's worthwhile. If you don't believe in horoscopes. As tempting as it might be to listen to the whole thing yourself...and maybe you should anyway...I would still like to recommend skipping chapter 4 completely. It very easily puts a damper on the insights of the preceeding and proceeding chapters.
The good:
Great thinking from chapters 1-3, 5, and 6.
The really bad:
Chapter 4 was essentially a horoscope. I was hoping it'd get me, or maybe deep down I had already decided it wouldn't. But frankly, I think chapter 4 was straight stupid. It describes how the date of your birth gives insight to your strengths, weaknesses, and purpose. And it goes on to say that it doesn't, but does, but doesn't. It was the silliest thing! Continues to describe similarities between various known people to affirm this "birth number" thing. And doesn't go on to make the point that all these similarities are shared between all the people mentioned regardless of their "birth number."
I suppose I may be in the wrong in possibly misinterpreting this section as well as allowing my interpretation to hinder my perspective on the book, but considering 1/3 of the book advocates the opposite of the whole point...it's pretty ridiculous.
Achieve a higher sense of self and awareness. Then surrender into the idea that the date you were born has some mystical bearing upon your life.
Sure your life would be different had you been born a day sooner or later, and maybe your path and purpose would be different. But arbitrary numbers that represent the day you were born have no significance in the play of your life. That is of course unless you allow it to, I suppose. In which case, more power to you. But in my opinion, that way may lead to success, but is inevitably lesser than if you refrain from silly nonsense. The way I see it, less power to you.

Articulate, concise and to the point on vision and purpose
Lovely full bodied almost summary of all the main take seats from Dan’s books honing in on the main message of living a life full of purpose and on point with our unique vision. Every book this man writes speaks to thr heart of the matter and can help, I feel, almost anyone find peace in themselves with respect to this collective journey we’re all on if only ready and brave enough to take this leap of faith. Thank you Dan for being one of my fave and most effective teachers along my life’s path.
