How to Be a Modern Samurai: 10 Steps to Finding Your Power & Achieving Success : Cummins, Antony: desertcart.in: Books Review: Very excellent guide through samurai culture. - 👍 Review: This book was my first introduction to the work of researcher/scholar/martial artist Antony Cummins and it was a great first read. In my time I have read many thousands of books and among those a ton of books about martial arts - and How To Be a Modern Samurai rates up there with the best of them. In many places a real eye-opener with regard to the true history and practices of the Samurai. Antony doesn't sugar coat the historical reality of who and what the Samurai actually were. This is a book I will undoubtedly read again. I'd give it six stars if that were an option. Cheers, Antony. Keep 'em coming!

The beautiful thing about this book is that it is NOT a self help book. This book prepares you to explore the true and historical path of the samurai without any pitch or scheme penned between the pages. Cummins is honest and clear on the fact that some may read this book and discover that the Samurai path is not for them and that this revelation is completely acceptable. This books seeks to share history in a modern light that does not bog the reader down with overly used dates and recycled facts that many of his competitors in the field cling to. This journey along the path of the samurai is a rigorous and hard fought battle that many never truly achieve. The task is daunting and the will required must be indomitable, but to those select few who climb out from the pit and reach the final wrung of Cummins’s ladder may just find the enlightenment they seek.

This book is amazing! It is a Manual for daily use, it incorporates ancient traditions into daily life and helps you understand how great Bushi warriors lived and saw life, share their Worldview and believe me ... it is very effective for self-acceptance and overcoming mental difficulties .... is a fascinating read that anyone interested in Samurai and Japanese culture must read. Recommended .. 5 stars!
