The Book of Five Rings (Go Rin No Sho) by Miyamoto Musashi - Audiobook

The Book of Five Rings (Go Rin No Sho) was written by Miyamoto Musashi nearly 400 years ago in Japan, and is about swordsmanship and strategy. Due to it's subject matter it's difficult to draw lessons and parallels to the modern world without taking quite an abstract view of the author's meaning, however there is an underlying philosophy running through it, and it's an important work which is still read today in Japan.

The Book of Five Rings (五輪書 Go Rin no Sho) is a text on kenjutsu and the martial arts in general, written by the Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi around 1645. There have been various translations made over the years, and it enjoys an audience considerably broader than only that of martial artists and people across East Asia: for instance, some foreign business leaders find its discussion of conflict and taking the advantage to be relevant to their work in a business context. The modern-day Hyōhō Niten Ichi-ryū employs it as a manual of technique and philosophy.
Musashi establishes a "no-nonsense" theme throughout the text. For instance, he repeatedly remarks that technical flourishes are excessive, and contrasts worrying about such things with the principle that all technique is simply a method of cutting down one's opponent. He also continually makes the point that the understandings expressed in the book are important for combat on any scale, whether a one-on-one duel or a massive battle. Descriptions of principles are often followed by admonitions to "investigate this thoroughly" through practice rather than trying to learn them by merely reading.
Musashi describes and advocates a two-sword fencing style (nitōjutsu): that is, wielding both katana and wakizashi, contrary to the more traditional method of wielding the katana two-handed. However, he only explicitly describes wielding two swords in a section on fighting against many adversaries. The stories of his many duels rarely refer to Musashi himself wielding two swords, although, since they are mostly oral traditions, their details may be inaccurate. Musashi states within the volume that one should train with a long sword in each hand, thereby training the body and improving one's ability to use two blades simultaneously.

This book is literally a weapon for the right person. "You must continually practice", "You become what you continually do", "Choose function over form", "Think only of achieving your goal and never get distracted", these are the main ideas I got from this book and I am so glad that even before getting to know this book, I have been practicing some of these ideas.

[@Betta66]

[@zachblack7080]

Same. I wish I knew who the narrator was, because this video will probably get struck at some point

[@zachblack7080]

He’s the only narrator that actually makes an effort to properly pronounce the Japanese lol

[@BadmanOfBanterbury]

@@zachblack7080 It's a pitched down version of a reading by a channel called Vox Stoica. However, he's recently made his original reading private, for some reason. The best way to get this is to go to one of those youtube to mp3 sites, download this video, then pitch shift it back to normal yourself in audacity or a similar program. I find pitch shifting it up by about 10% seems accurate to his original voice.

[@tankjones513]

​@@Miggys.Garageif your friend has an alpha/warrior type personality or if they desire to better themselves through tactics and spirituality, and can carefully and tediously study each point in this book, then yes I'd recommend as a must-read

[@tankjones513]

When studying Musashi, it helps to use his points in fighting as points for life. They are all also analogous to corresponding life issues.

[@shawnmendrek3544]

Sounds like a personal problem.
