### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Absolutely Excellent!
  

*by B***. on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 7, 2010*

Samurai Wisdom is absolutely excellent. Not only does this book provide the reader with a deep understanding of the samurai mind and their values, but if studied and applied, it also provides the reader with many valuable principles to live by in today's world. This book is a good translation of five literary works concerning Bushido from Yamaga Soko (1622-1685). In my opinion, this is one of Thomas Cleary's best books (and I have enjoyed many of his books).I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in Samurai history, Bushido, or the warrior lifestyle, or who just plain wants to develop his or her character in a world becoming more and more void of character and integrity. This book is excellent. Don't just read it, but apply it to your life. 5 Stars!Bohdi Sanders, author of the award-winning bestseller,

    Cleary does good
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 23, 2009*

I'm not a fan of Thomas Cleary. I much prefer the translations done by William Scott Wilson and Ralph D. Sawyer particularly when the subject of war or warrior hood comes into play. Mr. Cleary's work tends to be aimed at the Scholar or Businessman not the Professional Warrior or Martial Artist. Mr. Cleary did an excellent job with these works making them come to life for the 21st century reader. Having read other English translations in academic sources (like Monumentia Nipponica) not available to the average Joe, I believe he out did himself.

    With great wisdom comes.......
  

*by B***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 9, 2017*

Great read if you're a ninja that never trained. I have no idea what they are talking about in this book. I thought  I'd become wiser but that's not the case here...... Maybe crazier?
