LEARN HOW TO APPLY _BUSHIDO_ PHILOSOPHY AND LONG-STANDING SAMURAI STRATEGIES TO YOUR MODERN-DAY PRACTICE — AND LIFESTYLE — IN THIS GUIDE FROM A FORMER SOLDIER AND MARTIAL ARTS EXPERT. A warrior is anyone who applies their energy and creativity in support of a cause or ideal through creation or conflict. Real warriors have an ethos, a guiding belief that provides him or her with a clear purpose for their actions and an understanding that the battle in which they are engaged will have results that lead to a higher good. _The Way of the Modern Warrior_ is an explanation of the samurai philosophy, or Bushido, of Japan's fiercest warriors, practiced for over 1,000 years. The author, Hanshi Stephen Kaufman, has been a warrior for 50 years, first as a member of the military, then as an advisor to the military, and finally as one of the world's most distinguished martial arts philosophers. In his years of experience, he has collected the wisdom that comes from lessons learned and lessons taught. The 55 precepts in his new book are the result of those years of experience, and these samurai strategies will guide the modern day warrior as they devote energy and creativity to their practice. These principles and philosophies, drawn from samurai history, include Kaufman's insights about: * Arrogance * Ease and Grace * Wise Men and Evil * Being Genuine * Shame and the Glory _The Way of the Modern Warrior_ is an essential handbook for the 21st-century samurai warrior who lives by honor, duty, and service.
