About this listen
The inspirational teachings in this collection show that the real way of the warrior is based on compassion, wisdom, fearlessness, and love of nature. The teachings are drawn from the talks and writings of Morihei Ueshiba, founder of the popular Japanese martial art of Aikido, a mind-body discipline he called the "Art of Peace", which offers a nonviolent way to victory in the face of conflict. Ueshiba believed that Aikido principles could be applied to all the challenges we face in life - in personal relationships, as we interact with society, and at work and in business.
This edition is a much-expanded version of the original miniature edition that appeared in the Shambhala Pocket Classics series. It features a wealth of new material, including a biography of Ueshiba; an essay by John Stevens that presents Ueshiba's views on "The Art of War versus the Art of Peace"; newly translated doka, didactic "Poems of the Way"; and Ueshiba's own calligraphies.

Inspiring
I am a beginning student of aikido, so it makes great sense to study the words of O Sensei.
I am greatfull for O Sensei’s sharing of his understanding of the spirit, the body, the earth and the heavens.
With the considerations in this book My spiritual path is guided.

Inspiring story of the art of Akido
It gives you a glance into how the Akido comes to life. A lot of wisdom and things to ponder. But I'm not yet able to find a way to implement. Perhaps it will only come with practice.
