I recieved this book over a decade ago on the occasion of my first black belt test, and it is special to me for that reason. It is a collection of martial arts wise anecdotes and while it's certainly better than garden variety facebook inspiration it doesn't benifit from being filtered through text and viewpoint. I don't need to hear you explain how it helped you play tennis. Also some of the mind of matter stuff is harmful and I have a medical conterindication to meditation so can't say it's super applicable
