Miyamoto Musashi

The Book of Five Rings

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.

    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 .

    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.

    In strategy it is important to see distant things as if they were close and to take a distanced view of close things. It is important in strategy to know the enemy's sword and not to be distracted by insignificant movements of his sword.
