Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman tells his story as a world champion and college student who does not feel satisfied with his life until he meets a strange man. This man - given the nickname Socrates - changes how Millman perceives the world around him.

The story revolves around Millman's change from being a regular person to becoming a peaceful warrior. Socrates, Millman's teacher, guides him to happiness. Socrates begins his instruction by showing Millman how his previous methods of thinking were the root cause of all his unhappiness. The author uses insightful anecdote and clever quotes to help explain complex concepts that Socrates taught him. Once Millman realizes his errors, Socrates gradually teaches him how to find joy in everything life has to offer.

From wikipedia:

Thomas Edward "Eddie" Tolan (September 29, 1908 – January 30/31, 1967), nicknamed the "Midnight Express", was an American athlete and sprinter. He set world records in the 100 yard dash and 100 meters event and Olympic records in the 100 meters and 200 meters events. He was the first Afro-American to receive the title of the "world's fastest human" after winning gold medals in the 100 and 200 meters events at the 1932 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles. In March 1935, Tolan won the 75, 100 and 220 yard events at the World Professional Sprint Championships in Melbourne, Australia to become the first man to win both the amateur and professional world sprint championships. In his full career as a sprinter, Tolan won 300 races and lost only 7.
