Customer Reviews

A must-read

I read this book about 9 years ago and it changed my life. Then I placed it on my annual re-read book shelf and I read it again once a year. If you're a shrinking violet (like I was), you NEED this book. It inspires, it instructs, it shows readers exactly how to get into their power center--and most of us need to do just that. However, I recently read Ms. Callan's second book, The Hero's Code, and was very disappointed with it, hoping as I was that it would inspire me the way her first book had. It would've been a great magazine article but it falls very short as a book (for instance, do we need to know the full details of all of her many courses and why would her favorite real estate agent, carpenter, and insurance broker be listed under Resources?). If you choose between the two, buy Awakening the Warrior Within. You won't be disappointed--it's fantastic!

Real Warrior Wisdom

This book contains a depth of wisdom I have rarely seen in my continuing study of warrior philosophy. Dawn Callan brings the esoteric and the practical together in such a natural way that the fabric of the book is seemless. There is a practical twelve-step/recovery flavor here that anyone struggling with addiction, compulsion, will find solace in what reads like a familiar and helpful friend.

Brilliant work-book for safety, spirituality and ecology!

Starting from her courageous biography, the accomplished martial artist takes us through the steps of identifying our fears, weaknesses and strengths. Learning to responsibly relate to people and the planet is as much a part of personal safety as are spirituality and physical prowess - a work-mind-body-map for the journey to a safer and better future!
