Life of St. Monica - F.A. Forbes - A Short Summary and Review

Bushido - The Soul of Japan - Inazo Nitobe - A Short Summary & Review

A short summary of the book Bushido:

The philosophy of feudal Japan.

My favorite Inazo Nitobe quote from the book:

"Virtues are no less contagious than vices."


Questions to ponder while reading Bushido:

Have you ever wondered what drove the Samurai?

Does dated wisdom become less applicable?

My thoughts about Bushido:

I have seen what the Samurai wear it looks uncomfortable.

They had impressive stoicism.

I admire discipline (even though I don't have much).
