The book of five rings: +Biography of Miyamoto Musashi, Illustrated Edition, Modern Translation

Miyamoto spoke to me

Saw this on a podcast, I like to get my kids a book each year at christmas. Hard to do sometimes, well my 21 year old son was super excited when he unwrapped this gift! Now I need to read it as well to see what it's all about! Came highly recommended and if it excites my 21 year old who rarely reads it should be fabulous!

The book of five rings is a well-known yet very brief philosophy. It is based on separating itself from other strategies. The ground I’ll let you know there must be a strategy. The water tells you that you can use opposites together. The fire tells you that You can use a strategy, no matter the identity or number of the enemy. The wind helps you to get rid of the stain of other schools. Void helps you to see things as they truly are. Though it has its grounding in Buddhism and samurai, and parallels in stoicism. The book of five rings is an encouragement to remove the veil. It is an encouragement to look beneath the surface to see things as they truly are.

I enjoyed the profound insights on adaptability and intuition which resonate with me in many aspects of my daily life. Guiding me into personal growth to master my own mind, body and spirit which is challenging in today's fast paced world

I've read this book many times and I love it.

Good read

DO NOT BUY! This is a garbage translation that feels ai written or by a 5 year old.

The images are clearly A.I generated. Look at all the hand placements. The translation also seems to be A.I generated.
