The lack of substance in this work is staggering. It took me almost 7 weeks to work through this tiny, tedious, tome.
It is tempting to compare this work to The Art of War by Sun Tzu, but these books are worlds apart: the present work provides very little useful guidance while Sun Tzu's work is densely populated with actionable advice, at least for military strategists.

This book is probably more ment for someone who is involved in Martial arts. I appreciated the broader strategies discussed in the book, which are applicable to various aspects of life beyond just martial arts. However, I found the section on cutting an enemy to be extremely boring and repetitive.

4/5 Stars. (%75/100)
The book is split into five main parts: Ground, Water, Fire, Wind, and Void. Each of these chapters contains many short chapters that all talk about different things. The book can be categorized as philosophy though it talks about many things. Miyamoto is trying to educate wannabe warriors by giving many examples and talking about his teachings from the use of the weapon to honing your spirit. However, the good thing about the book is that you can apply most of the things he says in your daily life, especially the parts regarding the body and the spirit. I really like it in general since I am really interested in Japanese culture.

This book was recommended to me by another money manager. At first, I was confused about why I was reading something that literally never mentioned finance.... then I realized how brilliant it was.
