A coming of age book of a young male having dimmed hopes of gymnastic glory, this book is a must read for any young male seeking a path to enlightenment. Through numerous exchanges with an old saintly Wizard named Socrates, the narrator expands his perspective on the journey of life. To truly becomming a peaceful warrior, one must continually explore, retain, and focus in on the present, sub-consciously feeding one's life meter with new experiences and observations upon which to accumulate and feed off in future years. Just as a saintly oracle would profess, Socrates' message is to always strive for more optimism, better relations, and more knowledge and curiosity by being in the now.
