“They were not just warriors—they were a culture, a philosophy, and a moral compass. The Samurai emerged in 10th century Japan as defenders of land and lords, but became something far greater. Through centuries of war, service, and spiritual discipline, they forged “Bushidō: the Path of the Warrior,” the samurai code—not simply about wielding a sword—it was about wielding one’s self.”

I am very pleased to announce the release of an important new book by Richard P. Weigand: “Bushidō: A Life of Quiet Strength-Samurai Principles for Today’s World.” To a civilization and society in desperate need of tools to restore concepts of integrity, honor and ethics, Weigand’s book arrives not a moment too soon. Centering as it does on the individual precepts of the Samurai Bushidō code (there is a chapter in the book for each item of the code, explaining it and providing insight for its use in today’s world), the book delivers to the reader an intimate understanding of each code element, the ancient wisdom of the samurai, thus opening the door for application in one’s life.
As Weigand explains in the book’s preface:
“In today’s world, where distractions are constant and moral ambiguity is often rewarded, the spirit of Bushidō is needed now more than ever. Though the age of the samurai has passed, the principles of Bushidō are timeless. They hold as much value in the boardroom as they did on the battlefield. Strength of character, unwavering commitment, and the ability to act with honor—these are not relics of a bygone era. They are qualities that define true leaders, trustworthy partners, and individuals who shape the future rather than merely react to it.”
To parents wishing to raise children to be ethical, honest and productive; executives who wish for high-value co-workers and employees, imbued with integrity and honesty, and to anyone wanting to raise the quality of their own life and the satisfaction derived from ethical living, Richard P. Weigand’s, “Bushidō: A life of Quiet Strength-Samurai Principles for Today’s World,” is must reading. Get your copy today!
