The author Dan Millman is a very good storyteller. In this semi-autobiographical novel, he vividly created three characters that are unforgettable at first glance. One represents the author himself, but also represents countless young minds who are confused about the world and long to understand the ultimate purpose of existence. The second is the old gas station worker who is absurd and interesting, but always speaks true words and has inspirations. He is also the author's nickname Socrates, who he regards as his guru; the third character is the eccentric elf's girlfriend Joy, who represents the author's lost half of his soul mate. Reading "Meeting Socrates at a Gas Station at Night" will give you a very pleasant experience. There is a feeling that someone is blessing your aura, your inner energy will become very high, and your mind will become very clear. Especially when Socrates, the gas station worker in the book, asks a unique rhetorical question, readers will follow the narrative, think together, and start a mysterious exploration of the mind and soul.
