Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
For anyone interested in deepening their quality of life, karate expert Joseph Cardillo delivers an inspiring and essential guide to the spiritual wisdom of the martial arts.Contrary to what many might think, self-defense is not the main purpose of martial arts training. 'See with Your Skin; Find Your Range; Be Like Water' are just some of the wise messages at the heart of all martial art practices that help seasoned warriors, Buddhist monks, even kung fu champions like Bruce Lee maintain their trademark calm in the face of chaos. Now, in 16 easy-to-read chapters, Joseph Cardillo outlines a variety of disciplines from Korea, China, and Japan, and provides narrative examples for how they translate into spiritual well being. Complete with reflective exercises, BE LIKE WATER is a well-grounded, step-by-step approach to applying the warrior mind-set to life's daily challenges.

I received it in excellent condition. Maybe the only thing I was disappointed with was not being able to engage in conversation with the previous owner. She thanked me but refused to reply after that. I wanted her opinion and I'm deathly lonely. Was hoping to make a new friend.

This is another one of those "It does what it says on the label" type books. You'll not want to put it down once you've started.
The book is arranged into many small one to three page chapters about a subject e.g. "Pacing Yourself" or "Identifying Your Priorities", then followed by a page or two on Meditations about how you might achieve what has been discussed then one page of "Resolutions" on suggested promises you should make to yourself to carry out the task at hand.
Written in a nice easy flowing & interesting manner which urges you on to want to just read one more chapter before you put it down.
Although the topics discussed immediately relate to Budo (Martial Arts), all of them can equally be applied to everyday living without little or any adaptation.

This is one of those books that you can't put down. I'm not a big reader, nor am I big in to martial arts, however the principles in this book really apply to everyday life.
It immediately changed the way I analyze situations. There are many small details that anyone can use to change something if that is something they want to.
I have read this book a few times, mainly looking for something else to apply to life.

Joseph Cardillo offers practical wisdom for everyday living in this brilliantly written book. The format is well-designed ~ with a spiritual saying at the beginning and resolutions at the end of each chapter. It's wonderful finding opportunities to apply his ideas, to `go with the flow' of life ~ to conserve strength and energy ~ to move through life more gently.
