Dan Millman (born Feb 22, 1946) is an author of thirteen self-help books, the most famous of which is the semi-autobiographical novel, Way of the Peaceful Warrior (1980). As the winner of the 1964 World Trampoline Championship in London, he co-captained the 1968 NCAA University of California gymnastics team and has also served as director of gymnastics at Stanford University and as assistant professor of physical education at Oberlin College. Due to the varied topics of his books, his work is difficult to label, but is generally connected to the human potential movement. His early background includes training in modern dance, gymnastics, and martial arts. He earned a black belt in Aikido. Later he studied various yogas and other martial arts, and traveled around the world researching integrative disciplines, which resulted in his calling since 1980 — writing about and teaching an approach to living he calls the "way of the peaceful warrior."
