About this listen
The inspirational teachings in this collection show that the real way of the warrior is based on compassion, wisdom, fearlessness, and love of nature. The teachings are drawn from the talks and writings of Morihei Ueshiba, founder of the popular Japanese martial art of Aikido, a mind-body discipline he called the "Art of Peace", which offers a nonviolent way to victory in the face of conflict. Ueshiba believed that Aikido principles could be applied to all the challenges we face in life - in personal relationships, as we interact with society, and at work and in business.
This edition is a much-expanded version of the original miniature edition that appeared in the Shambhala Pocket Classics series. It features a wealth of new material, including a biography of Ueshiba; an essay by John Stevens that presents Ueshiba's views on "The Art of War versus the Art of Peace"; newly translated doka, didactic "Poems of the Way"; and Ueshiba's own calligraphies.

Incredibly Insightful
It was a little hard to get going for me, but once I truly focused, and I found closing my eyes and imagining acting out some of the book, it made more sense. Also towards the end when he talks about Yin and Yang and your arms and legs and your limbs being the pillars, that resonated with me and I moved my body around a bit at that point, feeling the book.

Enlightening and Entertaining
This book really improved my daily routines at the dojo. I'm a martial art practician and found this book a great resource to complement my practice in AIkido. Strongly recommend it as the reader has a unique voice that makes the #Audible1 book even more enjoyable.
