Customer Comments
A gem of wisdom in writing, Reviewer: A
reader from Japan
Beyond the fact that I live and work in Japan, this book is useful not only
for those of us seeking wisdom from the traditional arts of Asia but
anywhere. Dan Deprospero has done a superb job synthesizing all of the
accumulated teaching of his teacher - almost one decade - within 143 pages.
As mentioned in the introduction, some of it will seem obvious and
repetitive but one needs to read this book several times to grasp lessons
which can be applied to daily living. Indeed, each chapter is like a gem.
