Anybody else seen this movie.

The story is about a young gymnast Dan Millman played by Scott Mechlowicz, and his struggle to make sense of his life in which he is successful but still unfofilled. By chance he meets his "Yoda"/Schaolin priest/Boss Paul who helps him "git his haid straight" after which he goes on to be comfortable with his athletic prowess albeit not exactly olympic caliber. There is a lot of jumping around scene wise during which we don't know what is dream (part of getting his head straight) or reality showing his maturing personality. He suffers a debilating physical injury which forces him to work very hard to get back where he was ability wise earlier, but much wiser for successfully negotiating his transformation to wise old Grasshopper. This is almost a "Rocky IX" type movie with a wonderful happy ending.

Such a wonderful and inspiring movie. I learn't a lot from it and personally use a lot of what i have learned in everyday life.
Check it out if you haven't

Peace.

The Way of the Peaceful Warrior is the best book that I have ever had the pleasure of reading. Inspirational beyond belief.

I do not think I will be seeing the movie. The book was written SEVERAL years ago and was truly brilliant. I want to keep my interpretation in my mind's eye.

I have to agree that the book is very ispiring. I also read it a few years a go and only stumbled apon the movie by accident one night while i was watching the movie channel here. Dan Millman is an amazing man.
