Miyamoto Musashi was a legendary samurai and expert swordsman during Japan’s feudal period. He traveled the country as a rōnin and was undefeated in 60 duels. Musashi was also an accomplished writer, painter, sculptor and calligrapher. Around the year 1645, he wrote The Book of Five Rings, a book on fighting strategy and philosophy. The principles taught in the book can be applied to many things in life, not just martial arts. Executives have adopted The Book of Five Rings as a guide on how to be successful in business. You may have heard Joe Rogan repeat the quote below from the book. In other words, it means that achieving excellence in anything increases the potential for excellence in everything. It has inspired Rogan to be a well-rounded and balanced individual like Musashi. He even has a Miyamoto Musashi tattoo on his right arm.
"If you know the way broadly, you will see it in everything."
– Miyamoto Musashi
"The Cat in the hat, The Cat in the hat returns, & Miyamoto Musashi's The Book Of Five Rings.
