Summary

"Victory is in the mind before it is in the sword."

Written in 1645 by Japan's greatest samurai, Miyamoto Musashi, The Book of Five Rings is a legendary text on strategy, martial arts, and the philosophy of mastery. More than a manual of combat, it is a guide to discipline, clarity of thought, and success in any field of life.

Musashi, undefeated in over 60 duels, distilled his life's wisdom into five "rings" (or books): Earth, Water, Fire, Wind, and Emptiness. Each represents a different aspect of understanding conflict—whether with swords, in business, or in personal growth.

🌟 Why This Book Still Matters Today:

A classic text on strategy and leadership studied by warriors, business leaders, and thinkers worldwide.

Teaches timeless principles of discipline, focus, and adaptability.

A perfect companion to Sun Tzu's The Art of War.

Whether you're a martial artist, entrepreneur, or lifelong learner, Musashi's insights offer a path to clarity, strength, and victory.

    The twelve stories in Letting Go take us on a journey through landscape, language and turbulent times, from the mid-19th century to the present day, and into the future. Stevenson's array of characters from many walks of life and nationalities – including a traveller, a wood carver, chicken farm workers, a nurse, an architect and a magician – meet and part, some becoming reacquainted.
Themes exploring identity, creativity and the environment, echo and connect throughout the different narratives, sometimes carried in snatches of song. The author leads us outward from her native Scottish Borders to Edinburgh, Glasgow and the Gàidhealtachd, south to England, across the Atlantic to Apartheid South Africa and, finally, to the melting Arctic.
