This particular book is one of the most influential and preferred tools of literature in my stash. I have others mind you, but this one struck a powerful chord that keeps me in tune with things. When it comes time for a reset and I need to rekindle motivation, inspiration, and respect to the art, this is the golden one. It basically touches on all aspects of martial arts and opens up my quest to apply not only the physical teachings, but the internal part of martial arts that I have limited experience or understanding. It helps manage the humilty and balance that I feel I really need at times. When I read about Kung Fu masters of the past, look at the different styles portrayed, and just how disciplined they were... well, it's just exciting and highly inspirational. It also reminds me just how far your journey can go and just how much of a better martial artist you can become by looking at all situations as relevant and all things have a purpose. The toughest part is achieving the ability to see things in this manner. If you get a chance, check it out, I really feel in one way or another it will change the way you approach your art, no matter what your discipline is.
