Book excerpt: A tiny village in post World War II Japan is the backdrop for the life altering experience of a young American sailor who had a chance meeting with a blind martial arts Master. Barton's original goal was to gain the physical skills to defeat any enemy. It wasn't long until he learned that the Seiken Jitsu was much more than just fighting. It required the development of Character and an understanding of Body, Mind and Spirit to create the union of Feeling and Desire and, to see what it is True.The Master honed his abilities during World War II, seeing combat as a way to test his fighting skills; he referred to it as "the only place where I was able to use all of my abilities". Once his system was complete, no enemy was able to touch him. There was a price to pay for this knowledge and he ultimately came to believe that the true purpose of the martial arts was much more than physical skills; it was a means to develop Character and the ability to learn how to fight so you did not have to fight. This was what the Master wanted to impart to his only student.'Lessons From a 21st Century Samurai' is the history of the Master and his student, preserved for future martial artists and for those wanting to use extreme physical training, in any form, to develop a better understanding of themselves and what their purpose in life is.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Called “remarkable” (The Wall Street Journal) and “an ambitious, colossal debut novel” (Publishers Weekly), Helen DeWitt’s The Last Samurai is back in print at last Helen DeWitt’s 2000 debut, The Last Samurai, was “destined to become a cult classic” (Miramax). The enterprising publisher sold the rights in twenty countries, so “Why not just, ‘destined to become a classic?’” (Garth Risk Hallberg) And why must cultists tell the uninitiated it has nothing to do with Tom Cruise? Sibylla, an American-at-Oxford turned loose on London, finds herself trapped as a single mother after a misguided one-night stand. High-minded principles of child-rearing work disastrously well. J. S. Mill (taught Greek at three) and Yo Yo Ma (Bach at two) claimed the methods would work with any child; when these succeed with the boy Ludo, he causes havoc at school and is home again in a month. (Is he a prodigy, a genius? Readers looking over Ludo’s shoulder find themselves easily reading Greek and more.) Lacking male role models for a fatherless boy, Sibylla turns to endless replays of Kurosawa’s masterpiece Seven Samurai. But Ludo is obsessed with the one thing he wants and doesn’t know: his father’s name. At eleven, inspired by his own take on the classic film, he sets out on a secret quest for the father he never knew. He’ll be punched, sliced, and threatened with retribution. He may not live to see twelve. Or he may find a real samurai and save a mother who thinks boredom a fate worse than death.

Book excerpt: Who hasn't considered, at some point in their life, what it would take to live as a samurai? Whether it was a serious, life-long obsession or a passing, whimsical thought; in either case, there was really no way to know how to go about living life as a samurai. Any book about the samurai, or their codes, was either so strictly historical, or so thickly academic, that it didn't give any practical solutions to the average person, about how to go about applying the samurai ethic to their daily life. Previously, the aspiring samurai had no resource at all. But now, they have the manual. Based on the ancient and authoritative texts of three samurai masters, this manual gives the direct and authentic "samurai solution" to any of life's many situations. This pocket-sized book can be carried anywhere, anytime, for quick reference. No matter where life takes you, you are just one quick reference away from the "samurai solution" to your problems. Men, women and children, from all walks of life; No matter who you are or what circumstances life throws your way--with this manual, you, too, can live like a samurai!

Book excerpt: MIND, BODY, SPIRIT: THOUGHT & PRACTICE. The dawn of the seventeenth century saw peace descend on Japan. With the value of their martial skills on the decline, the samurai sought new spiritual, moral, psychological and physical moorings. Tsunetomo Yamamoto, author of the now-classic "Hagakure", combined a Confucian sense of justice with a Zen-influenced abandonment of the ego to espouse loyalty and death as paramount qualities of the samurai's calling. He collected six decades of study and observation to compile one of the most remarkable commentaries of his age. Not just a vestige of quaint Orientalia, but rather a living guide to a traditional Way of life and balanced health. If we do not immediately understand some of its more exotic prescripts, it may be wiser not to dismiss them outright, but to approach the work as Ekiken himself might have: with humility, curiosity, respect and imagination.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apply ancient Samurai teachings to personal development, life success and professional advancement in the modern world. In Let the Samurai Be Your Guide, life coach and motivational speaker Lori Tsugawa Whaley traces the far-reaching legacy of the Samurai and their meaning in the modern world. The Bushido--the traditional code of the Samurai--has permeated all aspects of life and society in Japan, and its influences are still deeply felt today. In contemporary Japan, bushido concepts of bravery and skill in battle are now brought to bear on less martial realms, in the corporate and sports worlds, for example. Hard work, company loyalty, a dedication to quality and the spirit of teamwork extend the "way of the warrior" into the reconfigured battlefields of the twenty-first century. In her unique approach to personal development, Whaley presents the power of these principles by pairing a discussion of seven key strategies for success with profiles of individuals whose lives exemplify those principles. These stories include: Esteemed former senator Daniel Inouye, whose distinguished World War II record paved the way for his life of public service as the highest-ranking Asian-American politician in U.S. history. Chiune Sugihara, sometimes referred to as the Japanese Schindler, summoned courage and compassion in saving thousands of Jewish lives during World War II. Michi Nishiura Weglyn, whose selfless quest brought wider attention to the internment of Japanese Americans and helped open the door to the redress efforts begun in the 1980s. Let the Samurai Be Your Guide inspires and encourages readers to embrace their inner warrior--a figure of reason, sound judgment and outstanding moral character--by understanding that personal power and success doesn't necessarily derive from physical prowess or effective attack strategies. Instead, readers learn that leading lives of fullness and meaning can be achieved by applying Bushido principles of courage, integrity, benevolence, respect, honesty, honor and loyalty.
