Customer Reviews

One of the best motivational books ever written

This book is amazingly clear and concise. It outlines ways in which every person is continually faced with both inner and outer opponents which act as obstacles that interfere with the individual achieving his or her goals. The book draws on history, using Samurai techniques as well as other pertinent examples to set out a plan of attack to facing and overcoming these opponents. Rogers is an excellent writer, and his ideas were well ahead of their time. This is a motivational self-help book that really works!

Surprisingly Useful

I bought this book years ago as a self-help to accelerate my software engineering career. I had tried others and none of them really struck me as being very useful.The book is actually exciting to read--it gets you energized. Rogers outlines a number of (Samurai) techniques that he uses to be effective in a business environment. It sounds corny but these techniques are easy to apply and work quite well. In my opinion it works well because the book is well-written, interesting and unique.Sadly the book is out of print. It is the only motivational book I've ever read that really worked and worked quite easily.
