Although the book focusses on 'Bushido', in its pure sense Musashi's way of strategy is ever applicable to modern leadership.

The narration matches the content well.

A truly great thinker

A really nice, and easy to listen presentation of this (very) old book. It makes itself mercifully short by focusing just on Musashi's words.

Well presented

As above but impossible to understand without conviction. You can understand what the words represent but he walked the path.

Quick read, simple to understand.
