The Book of Five Rings
The Book of Five Rings | Miyamoto Musashi
4 posts | 6 read | 1 reading | 7 to read
Along with Sun Tzu's The Art of War, The Book of Five Rings is considered to be one of the most insightful texts on the subtle arts of confrontation and victory to emerge from Asia. Composed in 1643 by the famed duelist and undefeated samurai Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings analyzes the process of struggle and mastery over conflict that underlies every level of human interaction. For Musashi, the way of the martial arts was a mastery of the mind rather than simply technical prowess—and it is this path to mastery that is the core teaching in The Book of Five Rings. This brilliant manifesto is written not only for martial artists but for anyone who wants to apply the timeless principles of this text to their life.

The Book of Five Rings | Miyamoto Musashi

Almost a pick, and I almost feel bad for the “so-so“, but it was quite specific to swords and sword-fighting for a good portion of the book. If you're ready to chop some limbs, this is a must-read!

Had to read this for orchestral conducting seminar. Why? I don‘t know. After reading it, I still don‘t quite know. As a philosophy book, I understand its value.

Absolutely a must-read, if you're a 17th century samurai. For all others, I'd skip this one.
