The Laws of Spirit: A Tale of Transformation

"The Laws of Spirit" is a wonderful tale through which the author has woven 12 essential laws to live by - laws that, when brought to our awareness, and utilized, can literally change your life! The story is based around a man who has recently begun both a physical & spiritual journey, and the sage he meets along the way. This sage teaches him about each of the 12 laws, providing wonderful examples & showing him how to apply each one to every-day life. I love that each "law" is explained in "down-to-earth" language and that, due to the examples given, it becomes quite easy to see how they can be used to better our lives on a day-to-day basis. "The Laws of Spirit" is a relatively small book, as it can easily be read in 1 or 2 sittings. However, I would suggest either keeping the book handy so that you can re-read it, or taking some notes so that you can easily be reminded of the many insights given. (I chose to take notes, so it took me a little bit longer to finish the book - but I now have the info. I need to put into practice all that I learned). Overall, I would highly recommend this book to anyone interested in spirituality & personal growth. It's an easy, interesting read, that is jam packed with wonderful insights.

This is a tale of a wonder filled weekend beyond time and place. I have read most all of Dan's books beginning with a book that truly changes lives, Th Peaceful Warrior. This book is now my favorite because of its very direct impact on my awareness. This book is a guidebook for world transformation and points to the new level of a consciousness that we are all destined to find. It is a world of perfect paradox where we are unique individuals but knowing no separation between us as people, non-human animals, plants, soil, water, sun, moon and all beyond are for all time ONE. We each create our own stories of a lifetime and make our special contribution to a living story of ongoing and infinite creativity and magic.

One of the very best books on how to be a better person from the soul out. I adore how this list of human attributes, which make us worth caring about, is written. Dan took a story and made it so easy to understand and so very doable. Buy this and after you read it, give it to a person who needs it. You will know who they are as you read the story and if you are the good person we all wish to be, you will give it away with love in your heart. I have bought so many I have lost track. As a recovering addict I needed a few things to get me to this year's 30'th anniversary, this book was one of the very best things in my life.

This author is EXCELLENT! Have read many of his books! All meet or exceed what I hoped to gleen from him!

If you are a Dan Millman fan, this book will not disappoint. In it, Millman's character meets a female sage who takes him on a few days' journey through nature near his home. She reveals to him 12 Laws to Live By which are both practical and spiritual at the same time. (For that matter, one of the key points as subttext is that spiritual IS practical.) I have written down the 12 laws and have begun to work with them to focus my own practices and keep me on the highest path I can manage at this moment....every moment. If you are not familiar with Millman, he is the author of The Way of the Peaceful Warrior, an all-time best seller which was also made into a very good Nick Nolte movie. Millman is in addition a world-class gymnast-cum-life coach. His work is an inspiration and a practical guide to living a better life. The Laws of Spirit just reinforces his earlier books and clarifies some of his key concepts. The only reason for 4 stars rather than 5 is that this book is in some ways a re-hash of the concepts in previous ones, rather than a totally new and therefore astonishing work. Nonetheless, it offers great insights and wonderful guidance while also entertaining. When trying to improve, one is always grateful for this kind of clear and engaging help.

Love, love, love this book! A friens lent it to me from the library. I read it, then reread it again, then bought three copies, one for me, one for my mother, and one to give as a gift to a friend. This book came into my life at such the perfect moment, it has become somewhat of a bible for me. On those days that I feel down, or discouraged I flip through this book, to the law I randomly open up to, and that is the Law I focus on that day. Love it! Great book! Buy it! Read it! Give it to a friend or family member! So worth the money spent!

I enjoyed reading this little book. The book is well made, with a front and back flap, I kinds like that. I have Dan's best seller, The Life You Were Meant To Life, a great book i might add, and I wanted to read more of his works. Dan covers 12 Laws of Spirit in a story, which for me makes it easyer to understand them as you learn them through the eyes of the story teller. And not as a learning course you have to study. The story line put the 12 Laws into perspective as he walking along learning each them from and old Sage. It's written well, and i can imagine myself being there walking with them and learning too. I am sure I will read this book many times, great read.

Great book. I have reread every chapter and highlight what I want to come back to.

pour celui/celle qui serait en quête de sens ou qui aurait besoin de croyances utiles pour redémarrer positivement. La métaphore est simple et jolie et l'histoire se lit très rapidement :)

Beautifully written and containing so much wisdom, discussed in a really straight forward and humorous way. There is a real challenge for the reader in this book, to bring these "laws" to bear in their own lives. Millman's entire dialog with the mystic takes place in the surroundings of nature which makes everything transcribed that bit more down to Earth and believable. The almost mystical scenes discribed had a heart felt effect on me. Really this book is one to come back too again and again, and is written as such. I bought this book hoping that it would change something in my life, now I believe it will change my whole life. The inspiring and timeless quotations were beautifully picked and apt to the chapter on each law. Initially I was going to review this book under the banner "this book should be standard issue at birth" I really felt that after reading and this stayed with me for a long time. The truth is while I have total faith and confidence in what this book prescribes, I didn't lead with this heading because in my experience this is a spiritual based book probably most suited to people in there late 20's and beyond due to the inherent difficultly of being responsible for the use of such knowledge when one has a teenage mindset. I had read what appealed me from this book years ago in paperback and as they say "hindsight is 20:20 vision". Lord have Mercy. THE LAWS OF SPIRIT: A Tale of Transformation

This was a good read outlining the spiritual laws that exist in the universe. I never realized that these were spiritual laws even though I was familiar with all of them. I enjoyed the way the book was written with the author meeting the sage who explains the laws to him. I will look at life differently now being aware of the spiritual laws and how they work in my life. Great book.

it is one of the fundamentals in my personal growth. I keep on referring to this book whenever I am in need of guidance. Can be read to kids

..unlike other books this is a poetically written narrative, guiding us through the practical application of balance, wisdom, kindness and so much more. Each chapter is deep, with the breath of lightness. Something to give to evey young teenager and yet, enjoyable for old and young.
