Publisher Description
Along with Sun Tzu's The Art of War, The Book of Five Rings is considered to be one of the most insightful texts on the subtle arts of confrontation and victory to emerge from Asia. Composed in 1643 by the famed duelist and undefeated samurai Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings analyzes the process of struggle and mastery over conflict that underlies every level of human interaction. For Musashi, the way of the martial arts was a mastery of the mind rather than simply technical prowess—and it is this path to mastery that is the core teaching in The Book of Five Rings. This brilliant manifesto is written not only for martial artists but for anyone who wants to apply the timeless principles of this text to their life.

Definitely deserves a second read
I know there’s a deeper meaning to the words in this book. Definitely going to read again.
Outstanding
This book opened my eyes to knowing more about the way things were back then and how much strategy took place in a daily life of this warrior. I have now been able to find my inner self and relax at times of need. It has taught me a lot about self control and movement of battle in a sense. Would recommend 10/10
