A really thought provoking and enjoyable read. I was brought to this book as a member of GKR Karate, however found the teachings and messages this book represents go far beyond the Dojo alone. Successfully challenging habits of procrastination and aimlessness, without getting bogged down in jargon and over analysed theory. A few of my favourite chapters include the time management principles in Weapon #6 (very applicable to what I am trying to promote with my team at work), the introduction to Stoicism in Wisdom #7 and the personal accountability for reaching one’s own goals in Way #6.
While these resonated with me during this read through, I can see the value of many others at different stages of my life and can see this book as one I come back to regularly to contemplate further insight!
