About this listen

The legends of samurai continue to captivate us. We wonder if the stories we see depicted in pop culture creations, books, and museums are full of truth or enhanced to make a point.

You are going to experience the fantastic world of the samurai, and learn the code, or Bushido, that these men followed to live up to honor and loyalty for their masters as a way of protecting Japan.

The samurai were highly skilled warriors, fighting for various reasons, even establishing the feudal era known as Edo, with a social caste system that put them on the top. The samurai ruled Japan for several years, fought wars, and eventually became obsolete.

But their traditions and codes are not gone from history. They live on today. Everyone can learn a little something from the samurai, including how to live a better life. Honoring people, staying loyal, and defending others when it is right are all virtues of the samurai that can be continued today.

You are going to learn of the eight virtues, the history of the Samurai, some of the most famous warriors, and then you will discover how you can apply their lifestyle to the modern world. Wouldn’t it be nice if people returned to a more chivalrous nature where lying and devious acts are not acceptable and where being honest, sincere, and courageous are looked upon with reverence?

Discover how you can uphold the traditions of highly skilled warriors and live a decent and kind life as described by Bushido writer Inazo Nitobe, even if you are just a regular person.

What are you waiting for? Buy and listen and learn about Bushido now!

This book is an excellent !!!

This book is an excellent summary of bushido, it is very easy to understand with simplifying the book so the meaning is diluted. This is definitely a must have for anyone, even just the general reader.

Disastrous narration

Bushido is a very interesting subject, the book covers well the origins, the evolution, and the principles. The research is evident, very well structured, and presented (at least on paper). The narration ruins the entire experience, and does not reflect the author's work.

Proper service

I ordered this book from Japan for my friend in New York, and he notified me that it had arrived at his hand timely. As I could not see the condition of the book, I cannot say anything about it, but my friend seems satisfied with it. Thank you indeed.
