A Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi
2.0

There are a few interesting tidbits on strategy, but the majority of stuff here was so specific to samurai and/or Buddhism that I cannot understand how corporate/Wall Street types got anything out of this.

In college I was in a Japanese film class where we watched a samurai movie about Musashi‘s life, so I was always interested in reading this book. I have to say I didn’t get much out of it.
