  This book provides English translations of the essential thoughts and teachings of 55 great Samurai leaders--from Takeda Shingen and Oda Nobunaga to Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu--the men who unified Japan and established a system of government that survived for generations
  
  Advice in this book includes:
  ・You should not envy the swords and clothing of others.
  ・It goes without saying that you should arrange your hair early in the morning if you are going out to your work, but this should be done even if you are thinking of staying at home.
  ・When you think too much, it is difficult to achieve your objectives. If you are too clever and look too far ahead, you will accomplish nothing.
  
  Covering universal themes ranging from the courage and ambition to face daily affairs, the insights and strategies necessary to deal with allies and opponents, the value of art and literature, and even why and how to save money-- this is a book whose ancient wisdom is still highly relevant and of great value to readers today.
