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.

This audiobook takes a unique approach by blending samurai principles with practical strategies for leadership and personal growth. The ideas about finding harmony and focusing on continuous improvement were easy to understand and apply. I really liked the focus on intentional living - shifting from "living to work" to "working to live" feels especially relevant. It’s a great listen for anyone looking to create more balance and purpose in their life.

This book caught me off guard—in a good way. I wasn’t sure what to expect, but the way it connects ancient samurai principles to everyday challenges really hit home. It’s not preachy or overcomplicated. I’ve actually started applying a few of the mindset shifts at work and in tough conversations, and it’s made a noticeable difference. If you’re into self-improvement with a unique twist, this one's worth your time.
