About this listen

Are you feeling more like a “firefighter” than a leader? That is, you feel like you have to put out the “flames” of bad business decisions made by others. Do you often feel that you don’t have control over your time or future? Perhaps you need to learn how to work and live with more harmony utilizing the thoughts and techniques of ancient samurai warriors.

Many times we just don’t know how to get started to find the harmony we want. What I have discovered is, you can learn how to integrate the Bushidō and Continuous Improvement principles to do exactly that. We all have the capability to shape the direction we want our lives to take, and the people who we want to serve in our professional pursuits.

The big question that you need to answer for yourself is:

Am I living to work, or am I working to be able to truly live?

Take the principles in this book, make changes to the way that you approach life, and be able to say yes to the latter part of that question. After listening to this audiobook, you’ll be better able to connect with yourself, and discover parts of who you are that you didn't even know existed.

Simple Wisdom That Sticks

I didn’t expect an audiobook about samurai to be so relatable, but the lessons here really hit home. It’s not just about history, it’s about mindset, discipline, and constant growth. The ideas are simple but powerful, and I found myself thinking about them long after listening. It’s a short but solid listen, and the narration kept me engaged the whole time.

Continually Improve Professionally Through Bushido

Absolutely worth reading for the professional. This book blends bushido principles with continuous improvement. By doing this, you take control of not only your time, but your decisions and future as well. The narration could improve and I still recommend hiring a professional. However, the contents of this books are beyond worthwhile to dive into.
