Abstract

MORAES, Laís Duarte de; ROCHA, Lisieux D'jesus Luzia de Araújo; PONTE, Berta Lúcia Neves  and  MARTINS, José Clerton de Oliveira. Peaceful Warrior (2006), by Dan Millman: contemporary existential perspectives. Rev. abordagem gestalt. [online]. 2020, vol.26, n.3, pp. 329-338. ISSN 1809-6867.  http://dx.doi.org/10.18065/2020v26n3.8.

This article aims to reflect on the values and existential needs that constitute the human being in the present times of hurries, exacerbated consumerism and the search for ephemeral pleasures that have been producing the sensation of existential emptiness. Such emptiness also establishes the need for the search for meaning of life. For this article, the narrative of the film Peaceful Warrior (2006) was taken as analysis material. This is a qualitative investigation, in which a bibliographic research was carried out and the Categorial Analysis was used. This process defined the film analysis units, which were coded and interpreted. The article concludes that the dedication to the development of a talent and the protagonism of the subjective experiences allow existential transformations for a vital path with sense in the contemporary context.

Keywords : Life style; Life change events; Behavior.
