Men, women and children, from all walks of life No matter who you are or what circumstances life throws your way-with this manual, you, too, can live like a samurai! No matter where life takes you, you are just one quick reference away from the "samurai solution" to your problems. This pocket-sized book can be carried anywhere, anytime, for quick reference. Based on the ancient and authoritative texts of three samurai masters, this manual gives the direct and authentic "samurai solution" to any of life's many situations. Previously, the aspiring samurai had no resource at all. Any book about the samurai, or their codes, was either so strictly historical, or so thickly academic, that it didn't give any practical solutions to the average person, about how to go about applying the samurai ethic to their daily life. Who hasn't considered, at some point in their life, what it would take to live as a samurai? Whether it was a serious, life-long obsession or a passing, whimsical thought in either case, there was really no way to know how to go about living life as a samurai. ![]() ![]() ![]() 'A dark and intriguing vision of an alternate, magic-drenched Britain, Gilded Cage kept me up way into the night'– Aliette de Bodard, author of The House of Shattered WingsĬontinue the fantasy series with Tarnished City and Bright Ruin.
