About this product

Product Information

"You can attain an understanding with which to win against ten thousand." Toward the end of his life, the great samurai warrior Miyamoto Musashi set down the secrets of his legendary success--the timeless principles of craft, skill, timing, and spirit that result in victory. His emphasis on strategic thinking, concentration, appropriate caution, choice of weapon, and the work ethic reflects the traditional Japanese approach to life. Today The Book of Five Rings has become an underground classic in the American business community, where it is studied as a text on Japanese management techniques. At once pragmatic and philosophical, The Book of Five Rings is an enduring guide to enlightenment that enriches all aspects of life--both public and private--and provides the tools and wisdom necessary for success in any human endeavor. This acclaimed English translation was prepared jointly by a team of Western and Japanese scholars for the Nihon Services Corporation, and interpreting, translating, and business counseling service dedicated to breaking down cultural and communication barriers between Japan and the United States. This edition includes explanatory notes ad commentary on each chapter.

Musashi Miyamoto. . .one of if not the greatest samurai of all time chose to chronicle his life and depict it in a way Sun Tzu wrote his "Art of War". If you've read the "Art of War" then "The Book of Five Rings" is almost like a part 2 to it in my opinion. Probably a staple for anyone in business and law focused industries. Excellent read!

A good book, worth reading
A good book. Not as good as "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu, but close. If you do read this book I suggest you also read "The Unfettered Mind" by a contemporary and friend of Miyamoto Musashi (who wrote The Book of Five Rings). Also I recommend you learn to play the game the Japanese call "Go" (and the Chinese call WeiQi).

This book is incredible. I bought this book after checking it out from my local library. Fell in love with the philosophy immediately. From 16th Century Samurai to modern day business and life. Imagine that.

The Book of Five Rings
A handbook on harnessing human potential.....it's strategic guidance is both immediate and timeless. It's the Japanese Art of War, a must read for tactical thinkers and modern Bushi alike.
