Download or read book Life Lessons of the Dojo written by J. M. Gallego and published by Publishamerica Incorporated. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life Lessons of the Dojo is a unique self-help book. It is an experiential book that adapts martial arts philosophy to modern living. This is not a martial arts book, but rather incorporates core martial arts principles and adapts them to successful living. As an educator, martial arts practitioner and teacher, martial virtues have been taught and recited during training sessions for countless years; for the first time, these martial virtues have been explained in detail. This book covers practical living, finance, relationships and general practices that enhance a success driven life. Life Lessons of the Dojo offers practical insight to living life to the fullest through understanding the precepts of the Dojo Kun. The premise of this book is to educate, enlighten, and give direction to individuals wanting to positively change their lives. Each section offers a martial virtue, an explanation, and an affirmation quote. I believe that this book is one of kind. It transcends the classical self-help book because it is not a mystical book, but rather a book of concrete examples of general wellness, and spirituality.

Book excerpt: “This book is a warmhearted handshake, a graceful and practical invitation to enter and blend with the ahhh of the world. It is as natural and wise an introduction to the spirit of the martial arts as you can find on paper.”—Jack Kornfield, bestselling author of A Path with Heart In his bestselling Mastery, renowned spiritual and martial arts teacher George Leonard taught hundreds of thousands of people how to use Zen philosophy to reach mastery in any field. Now, he brings together his extraordinary knowledge and experience into a book that translates the principles of aikido directly into our everyday lives. Aikido is more philosophy and meditation than a technique or a series of purely physical maneuvers. Leonard shares the secrets of this remarkable Eastern philosophy, which is the basis for the most radical and demanding of all martial arts. Through mind-body exercises inspired by aikido yet designed for non-practitioners, he demonstrates the fundamental understanding behind aikido and shows how it can be applied to help set us on the path to composure, self-sufficiency, and spiritual centeredness. Combining illuminating personal anecdotes with practical advice, this award-winning author describes the ways in which aikido can help turn life’s unanticipated blows into gifts and transform discord into harmony, anxiety and pain into vital energy. Exhilarating, enlightening, and filled with unique wisdom, The Way of Aikido is an inspiring lesson in balance, confidence, and power. “The Way of Aikido does no less than open the door to the universe and invite you through to become one with it, to become balanced, powerful, energetic, alert, and present.”—Susan Trott, author of The Holy Man and Crane Spreads Wings
