No Ordinary Moments

Every day, we face challenges in relationships, sexuality, money, work, and health. While a wealth of information is available on all of these subjects, we still have trouble turning knowing into doing. Learn the peaceful warrior's way to turn intentions into action, challenges into strengths, and life experiences into wisdom.

Based on the premise that by changing ourselves we can change the world, No Ordinary Moments presents simple yet powerful ways to balance our body, liberate our mind, accept our emotions, and open our heart.

Comments by Dan:

After writing my first two novels, many people wrote to say, "I was inspired by your first books, but how do you actually apply these insights and principles in everyday life?"

I wrote No Ordinary Moments in 1991-more than ten years after Way of the Peaceful Warrior. I had met other significant teachers and gained fresh insights. So, in response to reader requests, and leaving my path as a "teacher through fiction," I began a series of non-fiction guidebooks. So this book contains every insight I could offer at this point in my life on every significant topic related to practical spirituality.

No Ordinary Moments contains material I don't address in any of my other books. For example, the chapter on "Universal Addictions" helps to clarify the meaning and source of all addictions, and gives tools for insight and management of our lives while recognizing our human frailties. And many have found the chapter "When the Going Gets Tough" an encouraging and hopeful reminder for those facing one of life's adversities.
