The wisdom sayings and the discussions herein are simplistic yet they are as meaty as a two-inch-thick porterhouse. I like simplicity in the martial arts. It has got to be simple and it has got to be pragmatic. Clearly, Dr. Bohdi Sanders believes this, too.
So don’t race through his books as if you were reading a popular novel. “Meditate on the information,” “be in the moment,” and “…apply [the] principles to your life.” Think about them and discuss them with your partner, your classmates, and with your students. Discuss them with friends outside of the martial arts, too, as they apply to all facets of your life.
I wish you had written these books 40 years ago before I got into all that trouble. His books are a wonderful guide to living your life ethically, morally, compassionately, wisely, and exemplary. Oh, I forgot one. It will keep you out of trouble, too.
It’s rare to find books so rich and thought provoking that you can read them again and again and get something a little different out of it each time. Indeed, there isn’t a quotation and discussion in here that doesn’t pertain to each of us… I highly recommend them!
Read his books, and then read them again and again and again.
