Lessons from a Samurai: The ultimate guide for a meaningful existence

by Bjørn Aris

If a teacup cracks, is it then unusable? In Japan these cracks are repaired using gold or silver-coloured lacquer. Kintsugi. Then, the little teacup is even more beautiful. In this book, Bjørn Aris, iaido sensei, public speaker and coach, shares the lessons he has learned from Eastern Zen philosophy and the corporate world that will help you to look at yourself and your life in a different way. In a way that will help you to relax and get in touch with who you really are. You don’t work with strength, but you work from your own inner strength, with your feet firmly on the ground, with your vital force – ki – streaming freely through your body. Just as a modern-day samurai would, you use your energy efficiently, at home and throughout your career. Because why shouldn’t you be happy and successful?
