"So this is what Chapter 6 focuses upon *Misogi.
Misogi Spiritual Cleansing: Founder Morihei Ueshiba (O-Sensei) taught that physical training is an allegory for purification, similar to standing under a waterfall to wash the body.
Polishing the Spirit: Instead of focusing purely on fighting or defeating an opponent, students use precise movements to refine their character and calm their inner spirit" — Aug 25, 2026 11:03PM

I read the book, and whilst I understand that you need to set values and your belief system, I was left uninspired. It's fair in its approach and how the ideas or the themes are presented yet I wasn't carpe diem motivated.
For myself its possibly because if you have a fair appreciation of what some term life coaching, then this echoes some of the basic tenets.
Is it a Lifeologist or Life Coach narrative - you decide?

“Self-defense is when you didn't help develop the conflict, but violence was aimed at you anyway. An easy way to say it, but one many people fuck up the execution of, is: Self-defense is after you've done everything in your power to avoid it, the guy still attacked you and you did what you had to do to stop him.”

“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
