About this listen

The samurai ruled their world for a reason.

For centuries, the Japanese samurai were the unquestioned leaders of their society, maintaining their position through their iron will, Zen-like emotional control, and clan-building social skills. Today, in a world that focuses on instant gratification and self-indulgence, the way of the samurai is a challenging path to follow but will bring huge rewards to anyone who commits to it.

Packed full of activities and tips, this samurai manual will show you how to use the techniques of the famous Japanese warriors in the modern world. Learn how to control your mind and your emotions, use hard work and dedication to perfect your art, build a network of loyal supporters, rise to leadership level in your field, and become unstoppable in the pursuit of your goals.

The samurai of history were elite men, but gender and social standing have no relevance to the way of the samurai today. All you need is fierce determination to become the very best possible version of yourself.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Great book for those looking for a true insight into the ways of the Samurai. Antony Cummins really knows his stuff. Jeof Tyler delivers a good performance of the writings. We'll worth a read/ listen...

Insightful and inspirational.

I'm not sure what I expected when I downloaded this book, but it was refreshingly brilliant. Drawing on ancient Japanese wisdom that is overwhelmingly still relevant today. Really has given me a lot to think about.
I highly recommend this book.

Brilliant

I found "How to Be a Modern Samurai" quite disappointing. While the narration was acceptable, the content was overly simplistic and lacked depth. This book might be suitable for an insecure 19-year-old with no knowledge of Japanese history, but anyone looking for genuine insights or a deeper understanding will be left wanting. The historical context was superficial, and the advice felt clichéd and uninspired. Not recommended for those seeking meaningful or substantial content.

Disappointing and Simplistic
