This book is interesting for me to rate. I enjoyed reading it but I must admit that I was left wanting. This book very obviously feels dated in a way that I personally did not vibe with. I must admit that I am reading it outside of its original context, and there are a few lessons one could take away from this. I think this was a fun read to tap into a little global history but I would struggle to seriously recommend anyone else read this title. 

Thought i would appreciate it more, this time (being in corporate and all).

Same conclusion - The strategy is way to complicated and sometimes very specific to the "Way of the Samurai". I did like the Zen perspective on approaching the use of a (two, if the strategy requires) Katana(s).

It's a cliche, but I prefer Sun Tzu's Art of War.

I bought this as a research for my own writing. I don't usually read this for pleasure. But I love how short this is. I can't help but feel that Miyamoto Musashi is some kind of anime tsundere or a real life Gary Stu who just able to magically defeat anything and anyone in his path and earn utmost respect. Although, I don't think he'll appreciate my comparison of his persona to that of an anime archetype.

I dare someone to talk shit now

Interesting, slightly confusing. Lots of "you have to study this well", does feel like there's more to discover. I heard people praising it over [b:The Art of War|10534|The Art of War|Sun Tzu|http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327975923s/10534.jpg|3200649], probably that one had a better editor, while I haven't made up my mind either way.
