An illustrated version that summerizes the Book of Five Rings and makes it easy to follow the concept. I can totally see how you could apply this to work situations.
A fascinating read and a beautifully put together book.
I do not think I have the right mentality for this book.
An interesting book, though more like a collection of thoughts squished together than an outright book. Some of the parts are very basic and I found myself almost skimming ahead. Other parts are wonderfully philosophical. I think it'll make a nice reference book.
Second reading: I moved this down to three stars. It relies heavily on the contradictory patterns in Buddhist philosophy at the expense of much content. There are just a few parts with direct information of value to strategy and mindset.

This is everything The Art of War wishes it could be.
From literally teaching you how to wield the sword to passages about how to clear your mind and eliminate "sickness", The Book of Five Rings really has it all. Having been familiar with Musashi's story through my own historical research and the manga series Vagabond, it was very cool to see his philosophies being put out into the world so bluntly.
There is very little confusion to be had here. Just like the things both Musashi and Munenori teach, this book is to the point, and doesn't dwell on one topic for too long. There were so many little nuggets of wisdom, simple sentences of no more than ten words, that really made me stop and reflect about my own self.
This is a book I am definitely going to revisit soon to highlight some key passages. I can definitely see myself referring to Mushashi and Munenori's teachings over and over again whenever I am faced with life's troubles.
Whether the prospect of two Samurai's sitting down and teaching you their way of life interests you or not, read this book. You won't regret it!
