The TUTTLE press release introduces the book "Let the Samurai Be Your Guide" by Lori Tsugawa Whaley. It explores the application of ancient Samurai teachings to personal development, life success, and professional advancement in the modern world. The author delves into the far-reaching legacy of the Samurai and their continued relevance in contemporary society. The traditional Samurai code, known as Bushido, has influenced various aspects of life and society in Japan, extending beyond martial realms to areas such as corporate and sports environments.?

Whaley presents a unique approach to personal development by discussing seven key strategies for success and illustrating them with profiles of individuals who exemplify these principles. The stories include notable figures like former senator Daniel Inouye, who rose to become the highest-ranking Asian-American politician in U.S. history after his distinguished World War II service, and Chiune Sugihara, known as the Japanese Schindler, who displayed courage and compassion in saving thousands of Jewish lives during the same period. The book also highlights Michi Nishiura Weglyn, whose efforts shed light on the incarceration of Japanese and Japanese Americans. She contributed to the redress initiatives in the 1980s.?

"Let the Samurai Be Your Guide" aims to inspire and encourage readers to embrace their inner warrior, emphasizing the importance of reason, sound judgment, and moral character. The book emphasizes that personal power and success are not solely derived from physical prowess or effective attack strategies. Instead, readers are urged to lead lives of fullness and meaning by applying the sword-sharp principles of Bushido, such as courage, integrity, benevolence, respect, honesty, honor, and loyalty.
