Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives

Way of the Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives - Dan Millman You might think at first glance this is a novel with some sports background.
And you already have a pretty good movie adaptation.
But it's not really.
It's actually a bildungsroman and light(ish) philosophical novel written by a successful ex gymnast, and therefore style and refinement of the story itself aren't perfect.
If you can overlook that... book aims to improve readers view of everyday difficulties, dilemmas, self-confidence.. and it's worth reading

Philosophy in book is composed of many eastern philosophical principles and Eckhart Tolle's but with emphasis on being more doable less theoretical
Somehow I think it's a great book for gift
