Miyamoto Musashi: The Book Of Five Rings

Posted by on November 11, 2009 in Awesome, Philosophy | 0 comments

So I’ve decided to read a book by Miyamoto Musashi called “The Book of 5 Rings” (which is really popular in the east).


I remember reading about Musashi when I was younger (a novel dramtizing his life) and was pretty amazed at not only his “chaotic” pragmatic fighting style, but his approach to life and death in general.


Here is a picture of the book I have at home–and yes it’s a little worn through as I’ve read it at least 5 times. ;-)

Anyways, back on topic, I’m slowly developing a thirst for eastern books (I blame the Art of War), so if anyone has any other suggestions, feel free to post them below or on Facebook.
