The Book of Five Rings

Fire

It's funny how I've been introduced to Musashi through a manga and how much of an impact it had on my life and my views of the world. The book might sound like it's for "martial arts/warriors" but it's not directed at one group of people, instead it teaches men and women how to find their way in life and in their endeavours, one does not need to be a samurai or warrior to read these texts and find valuable knowledge.

Unless you are a lost teenager or a Kendo Practitioner : you won't learn that much intellectualy given Mussashi's rather Niche
expertise even in Martial Arts field in somewhat estoric Phrasing . Still, it's nice to hear what an excellent Edo Period warrior who Survived over 30 duels has to say on succeeding in life .
