The Book That Will Go ‘Round the World
This is your chance to get your hands on one of five autographed copies of Dan Millman’s fantastic book, “Wisdom of the Peaceful Warrior” (click here to read my review).
I’m going to do this as a fun experiment and see just how many multisport Peaceful Warriors we have around the world. Here’s how it will work:
1) From January 1-January 31, 2008, post a comment at the bottom of the post stating that you want to enter the contest. Make sure to include your blog’s name and URL.
2) Near the end of the month, one winner will be randomly selected. Let’s call this winner Blogger A.
3) Blogger A will get two copies of the book: One copy signed by Dan Millman that he or she can keep and one book that Blogger A will sign. Blogger A then writes a review of the book and continues the contest for the month of February, with the same rules, on his or her blog. Blogger A must link back to TheOutdoorJourney.com during the contest promotion.
4) At the end of February, Blogger A announces a random winner from his or her blog. This winner, Blogger B, then gets two copies of the book. One signed by Dan to keep and the other signed by Blogger A. Blogger B also writes a review of the book and promotes the contest on his or her blog for the month of March, linking back to TheOutdoorJourney.com and Blogger A.
5) We continue this until we get to Blogger E in June. At this point, Blogger E writes a review of the book on his her blog, linking back to the blogs of TheOutdoorJourney.com and Bloggers A-D (who in turn link to each other throughout the tour). The passed along book will have everyone’s autograph on it and we’ll ship it back to Dan Millman to add to his personal library…the book that has gone around the world.
Are you game?

Don’t have a blog and no plans to start one, but I have enjoyed Dan’s books in the past. Can I still win?
What a great idea! I’m in.
What a great idea!
Kevin (and others who don’t have a blog but would like an autographed copy of the book),
I’ve been toying with sponsoring a newbie blogger here with dedicated space at TheOutdoorJourney.com. If you’re interested, drop me a line through the Contact section of the site and we can chat. That way, you’d have a blog that you could use to enter the contest…although it’s a lot of work for an autographed copy of the book!
I’d really like to get in on this neat idea-I have a myspace blog and a facebook wall page if either of those would work. Or,I’ll take a look at mybloglog. Longtime fan of Millman’s writings and message.
my blog is now listed
until I get the hang of this, expect a few rough edges
I want in!
Ironically, I actually bookmarked your site 3 days ago fully knowing that this book is next on my list to read.
I am very interested to read this book. I haven’t read the other book but it sounds like a great read. I am also in for the contest.

Quite a unique idea. I’m up for the challenge. Sports, Inspiration, Passion and Free Book? Sounds like a winner all around.
I’m in!
Count me in, thanks.
Great idea, I live in a high altitude area and would like to be part of this experiment. I am the author of my own book so it would be a good test run to see if I should do it in my area of focus.
Great idea.I’m in for the contest and would love to have a copy.

I would love to be in on the contest! It looks like a fabulous book, completely on topic in today’s world. The interview is fascinating, so many nuggets of wisdom. I would love to read this book.

I like to encourage success through action, so I had to laugh at this on your site from the interview.
To progress toward your goals, please choose one of the following methods:
(1) You can find a way to quiet your mind, create empowering beliefs and positive self-talk, find your focus and affirm your power to free your emotions and visualize positive outcomes so that you can develop the confidence to generate the courage to find the determination to make the commitment to feel sufficiently motivated to do whatever it is you need to do.
(2) Or you can just do it.
As a person born without much “warrior” (I’m a pisces :0) over my life I certainly see a need to have this quality, a peaceful warrior is right up my alley and I think could make a real and timely difference in the world today.
