This process involves letting go of very many ideas, connections and being able to [[transform needs into wants]]. When I release myself of needs, I allow myself to [[be available for the opportunity]] when it emerges. ## Am I convinced and why? ## Summarize the argument ## Book 1: The Winds of Change ### Chapter 1 Gusts of Magic: Dan meets Socrates, the night attendant at a gas station, who starts to show him the magic of being a warrior. ### Chapter 2: The Web of Illusion ![[Neither your disappointment nor your anger was caused by the rain]] Dan meets Joy, is overwhelmed. He becomes obsessed and depressed, paranoid and unstable. He moves towards rock bottom. He begins to be taught that his reactions are internal and don't impact the external, like ### Chapter 3: Cutting Free ## Book 2: The Warrior's Training ### Chapter 4: The Sword Is Sharpened Dan is in a motorcycle accident. His leg is badly injured and has surgery, he is laid up and set back. Socrates and Joy tell him he needs to acknowledge the pain and figure out how to use it.
