Always Improving: Lessons from the Samurai
Are you feeling more like a “firefighter” than a leader? That is, you feel like you have to put out the “flames” of bad business decisions made by others. Do you often feel that you don’t have control over your time or future? Perhaps you need to learn how to work and live with more harmony utilizing the thoughts and techniques of ancient samurai warriors.
Many times we just don’t know how to get started to find the harmony we want. What I have discovered is, you can learn how to integrate the Bushidō and Continuous Improvement principles to do exactly that. We all have the capability to shape the direction we want our lives to take, and the people who we want to serve in our professional pursuits.
The big question that you need to answer for yourself
Am I living to work, or am I working to be able to truly live?
Take the principles in this book, make changes to the way that you approach life, and be able to say yes to the latter part of that question. After reading these pages, you’ll be better able to connect with yourself, and discover parts of who you are that you didn't even know existed.

Great wisdom
This is an enlightening take on values-based leadership and lifestyle. The information is excellent and I appreciated the daily and weekly check in sheets and reflections. One thing that could be improved in the Kindle version is to format the book for eReader. Probably the printed book file was used, and it required me to constantly zoom in to read the text, then zoom out to see the charts. Until the book gets formatted correctly, I recommend getting the printed version.

Just wow!
Just wow! This book is a masterpiece, it moves in its own speed because you need to pause, think, consider, reflect a lot. As a karate student, this book has been a very fruitful journey for me and I had the chance to stop every distraction and listen to myself through the pages. Thank you for this book, dear author. Blessed be. Highly recommended.
