Summary

Samurai Code Practice explores bushido, the warrior code that profoundly shaped Japan's samurai class and its culture. Delving into the philosophy of honor, loyalty, and self-discipline, the book reveals how bushido dictated samurai behavior, influencing everything from battlefield conduct to artistic expression. Bushido wasn't just a set of rules; it was a comprehensive worldview impacting art, literature, and social structures.

 
The book traces bushido's development from early warrior traditions to its codification during the Edo period, highlighting the influences of Confucianism, Zen Buddhism, and Shintoism. It examines how these philosophies were synthesized into a unique ethical framework. Each chapter provides a comprehensive overview, beginning with historical origins and philosophical underpinnings before examining the application of these principles in daily life, their influence on Japanese art and literature, and their lasting legacy in modern Japan.

 
By drawing upon primary and secondary sources, the book offers valuable insights into the mindset of the samurai and their role in shaping Japanese history. It avoids jargon, presenting complex ideas in an accessible style suitable for anyone interested in Japanese history, culture, or philosophy, making it a valuable resource for understanding this influential ethical system.

    “An intelligent exploration of the psychology of the entrepreneur and the toxic effects of authoritarianism.” —Kirkus Reviews“An intriguing economics text addressed to post-Soviet Bloc audiences who are interested in business development… a compelling picture of the changes wrought by economic shifts.” —Foreword Clarion ReviewsWesterners today grow up with abundant opportunities to determine their own values, identities, and roles in society. But for generations, millions who lived under Soviet rule in the USSR had these essential freedoms withheld, determined instead by a central authority that claimed the right to choose for them and enforce compliance. Thirty years after the Soviet Union’s decisive collapse, the old communist paradigm continues to limit those who come of age in a post-Soviet world.Everyone Is an Entrepreneur showcases the experience of an American author acclimating to life in the developing post-Soviet economy of Armenia. Along the way, he examines how the intelligent and hardworking people he lives among are stuck in a state of transition away from all-encompassing, bureaucratic control. They struggle to adjust to the responsibilities of economic self-determination because they have never learned how to see the world through entrepreneurial eyes.Entrepreneurship is a principled way of seeing the world, a paradigm that applies to people in all cultural and economic circumstances: Artists, office workers, doctors, teachers, farmers, and laborers alike. By adopting this universal outlook, anyone can produce more wealth, accomplish bigger goals, and take control of their life like never before.

    Book: Khalsa Butt Na Manne Koi 
    Edited By: Parmjeet Singh Gazi, Ravinderpal Singh  
    In Sikh history, the tradition of idol worship or communicating through images was never accepted. If such a practice was ever raised, it was rejected by Guru Sahib during the Guru's time, and later by Sikhs. This book contains various articles written by different individuals about the new phenomenon of idol-making in the Sikh community. 
    These articles discuss the prohibition of idol worship in the light of Sikh principles, with ample references to support the argument. All these articles provide a well-reasoned response to the arguments in favor of idol-making. They are based on Gurbani and the teachings of the Gurus, with references to historical facts. 
    Overall, the book's articles are valuable and serve as a reminder for every Sikh who remains committed to the Guru's path. The publication of this book is very important today, so that people can understand the issue through Panthic references rather than mere rationality and promote the teachings of Sikh tradition for future generations.
