Editorial Reviews

Briefly, this is a book about getting your way in day-to-day life. While substantial sections are devoted to samurai culture, the strategies and techniques described are timeless and can be applied in absolutely any situation today. As a professional in a position of leadership, I've heard all the usual advice - how to dress, how to speak with clients, etc. - but this book finally explained the detailed strategy behind all these actions in a clear and concise manner. -- Natasha Nakhshin

People have asked me what my proudest accomplishment has been; I've always told them it's the fact that I did three combat tours and brought all of my Marines home. I credit the knowledge I gained from "The Way and The Power" in no small part. -- Maj. B.C. Stamps USMC (Ret)

For many years and in many ways, although I didn't know it, I sought the concepts and ideas in this book. So much more than a manual on strategy, "The Way and The Power" is a way of life. Keep it close at hand, read it often, and it will teach and inform you for many lifetimes. -- Joshua Karrasch
