Early life
Millman was born in Los Angeles, California, to Herman and Vivian Millman (both deceased), and he has an older sister Diane. Much of his early life included active pursuits such as modern dance and martial arts, and then trampoline, tumbling, and gymnastics. He attended John Marshall High School in Los Angeles, where he was recognized along with another student as a Co-Senior Athlete of the Year.
During his senior year in high school, he won the United States Gymnastics Federation (USGF) national title on the trampoline, and while a freshman at U.C. Berkeley, he won the 1964 Trampoline World Championships in London and earned All-American honors and won an NCAA Championship in vaulting. In 1966 he won the USGF championship in floor exercise.
He represented the United States in the 1965 Maccabiah Games, winning four gold medals in Gymnastics.
In September 1966, just prior to his senior year at U.C. Berkeley, Millman's motorcycle collided with a car. He suffered a shattered right femur, requiring surgical repair and bone marrow transplant with a steel nail inserted in his femur (which was removed a year later after the leg was healed). Millman actively pursued rehabilitation and was able to return to gymnastics as co-captain of his team which won the 1968 NCAA Gymnastics Championships in Tucson, Arizona. He was the last man to perform for U.C. on the high bar, and had a best-ever routine and perfect landing that clinched the team title.
In 1968 he was voted Senior U.C. Berkeley Athlete of the Year, and graduated with a B.A. degree in Psychology.
Personal life
Dan Millman and his wife Joy live in Brooklyn, New York. They have three grown daughters.
Career
Millman served as director of gymnastics at Stanford University in 1968, where he coached U.S. Olympian Steve Hug and brought the Stanford team to national prominence. During Millman's tenure at Stanford, he trained in Aikido, eventually earning a shodan (black belt) ranking, and researched T'ai chi (Taiji) and other martial arts.
Millman, a sports activist, began a sports scholarship at Oberlin College in Oberlin, Ohio, in 1972 as an assistant professor of physical education. Millman returned from San Francisco, Mexico, India, Hong Kong, and Japan, where he studied numerous fields, including yoga and martial arts, while at Oberlin, on a travel-research grant from the university.
Millman began to produce audio and video cassettes, as well as giving lectures and professional keynotes in 1985. His work is often linked to the "human potential movement."
Millman has written 17 books as of 2015, which have been released in 29 languages together. Way of the Peaceful Warrior, Nick Nolte's first book, was released by Lionsgate Films in 2006 and re-released by Universal Pictures in 2007. Dan attributes his first book to a gas station attendant who told him of Socrates and to whom he gave his name.
