Saw this on a podcast, I like to get my kids a book each year at christmas. Hard to do sometimes, well my 21 year old son was super excited when he unwrapped this gift! Now I need to read it as well to see what it's all about! Came highly recommended and if it excites my 21 year old who rarely reads it should be fabulous!

Fantastic and inspirational book
Miyamoto Musashi was an absolute legend who's insights, techniques and self control methods are as relevant today as they were when he was a living Ronin and whose warriors lifestyle was respected throughout Japan. For anyone who wants to learn techniques to help them control their emotions and anxieties, this book is an essential read.
