Wasted Space
The last chunk of the book is, as far as I can tell, several chapters of nothing but a flute playing. Not sure I understand why... but seems like padding to make this particular version of this classic text longer and therefore more complete.
Great book but...
It was full of great techniques and strategy. I can definitely use this in my life day to day in dealing with office politics. This book was good for the first few chapters, but the last 20 or so were just Japanese jazz flutes and drum solos. No words, just instrumentals... Yeah..
Last 2 hrs are music
Music started playing halfway through the program. Thinking it was the end of a chapter or section I let it run for about a minute and then started skipping ahead. First 30 seconds, then several minutes and eventually entire chapters. The last two hours of the program are just music.
patient instructions
This book, remember, is the written words of a master swordsman. It is not a story, but it tells a few stories of his time. It is deliberately slow and precise; well-versed for any would-be student of strategic, historic swordplay.
He writes in the vein of simple instruction, repeating key items one should remember.
Previous reviews of the audio were demeaning of the instrumentals attached, but I differ in opinion. It lends itself to use in meditation, if you're into that. It was very relaxing.
half of this recording was flute playing
fantastic book! The lessons of strategy Miyamoto Musashi teaches, manage to still be applicable to modern life well after 300 years. I just feel like 10 plus chapters of flute playing is an odd way to end a book. Maybe you'll dig that extra bonus.
