A Book of Five Rings: The Classic Guide to Strategy
by Miyamoto Musashi
The Book of Five Rings is a similar undertaking to the Art of War. Both can be viewed as a text based upon the studies of combat and strategies of war. In another light the books can be deeply philosophical on how to leave one's life, prepare for the inevitable conflicts of it, and prepare strategies of ever-changing nature.
The ancient teachings of Miyamoto Musashi I found can be applied to my life and in the business world. It provides guidance on how to deal with competition in the 'allegory' of sword combat through the training found in Kendo.
The audio or book are both a short listen/read. I recommend the version translated by Kenji Tokitsu because he doesn't not translate directly word for word in some parts. He phrases these points of text with an understanding of the meaning. Then will go back through word for word to extrapolate the intended meaning. He informs the reader of where he takes care to provide this context.
I will be picking up the physical copy of this book for future rereads.
