Hagakure: The Book of the Samurai by Yamamoto Tsunetomo

5.0

Overall, I thought that this was a good book. Divided into sections, it paints an interesting picture of Japan in the late 1600's, as recounted by Yamamoto Tsunetomo. It is worth mentioning that the original author lived only at the very end of the century, and therefore should be taken with a grain of salt.
Regardless, many of the passages provide interesting perspectives on how to live a daily life, as well as some more long term suggestions.
