Miyamoto Musashi

Miyamoto Musashi's Go Rin no Sho or the book of five rings, is considered a classic treatise on military strategy, much like Sun Tzu's The Art of War and Chanakya's Arthashastra. The five "books" refer to the idea that there are different elements of battle, just as there are different physical elements in life, as described by Buddhism, Shinto, and other Eastern religions. Through the book Musashi defends his thesis: a man who conquers himself is ready to take it on on the world, should need arise.

"The authors have made classic samurai wisdom accessible to the modern martial artist like never before." — Goran Powell, award winning author of Chojun and A Sudden Dawn"It's fascinating stuff!" — Steve Perry, New York Times bestselling author"The precepts offer priceless advice to anyone." — Kate Vitasek, University of Tennessee“The five point perspective inspired deep introspection. I have been elevated to higher and deeper levels of personal and professional growth by reading this book.” — Laela Erickson, Senior Business Development ExecutiveMiyamoto Musashi (1584 – 1645) was arguably the greatest swordsman who ever lived, a legendary figure whose methods of thought and strategy have been studied and adopted across a wide spectrum of society, from martial artists to military leaders to captains of industry. The iconic sword saint of Japan was clearly a genius, yet he was also a functional psychopath—ruthless, fearless, hyper-focused, and utterly without conscience. Shortly before he died, Musashi wrote down his final thoughts about life for his favorite student Terao Magonojo to whom Go Rin No Sho, his famous Book of Five Rings, had also been dedicated. He called this treatise Dokkodo, which translates as "The Way of Walking Alone."The book you hold in your hands is the definitive interpretation of Musashi's final work. Readers are oftentimes subject to a single perspective about what some famous author from the past had to say, yet we are more holistic here. This treatise contains Musashi's original 21 precepts of the Dokkodo along with five different interpretations of each passage written from the viewpoints of a monk, a warrior, a teacher, an insurance executive, and a businessman. Each contributor has taken a divergent path from the others, yet shares the commonality of being a lifelong martial practitioner and published author. In this fashion you are not just reading a simple translation of Musashi's writing, you are scrutinizing his final words for deeper meaning. In them are enduring lessons for how to lead a successful and meaningful life.About the Br. Kris Wilder, OSF is a member of The Order of St. Francis, one of many active Apostolic Christian Orders.

Musashi è uno degli eroi del Giappone, un "santo della spada" che personifica il guerriero vincente, colui che ha assunto la piena padronanza del proprio corpo, della propria mente e del proprio spirito.

Ma come possono le idee di un samurai medievale avere qualche attinenza con le sfide che dobbiamo affrontare nel mondo di oggi? Sorprendentemente, Musashi ha molto da insegnarci. Poiché era un maestro del combattimento, voleva tramandare l'essenza dell'arte di sconfiggere gli avversari, che - come sottolineava - è applicabile in tutti gli ambiti della vita.
