My Parents Were Only One Part Of My Lineage. I Also Met A Number Of Mentors, One Of Whom I Nicknamed "socrates" After The Ancient Greek, And Wrote About In My First Book, Way Of The Peaceful Warrior. That Book Emerged In 1980, As A Result Of Travels Around The World And Decades Of Preparation, Eventually Leading To 15 Other Books Written Over The Years, Culminating In My Newest Offering, The Four Purposes Of Life.

No Matter What We Feel Or Know, No Matter What Our Potential Gifts Or Talents, Only Action Brings Them To Life. Those Of Us Who Only Think We Understand Concepts Such As Commitment, Courage, And Love, One Day Discover That We Only Know When We Act; Doing Becomes Understanding.
