First English Edition
The Art of Intellectual Transformation
Discover the true essence of the ninja - a mind trained to think creatively, adapt instantly and endure through all circumstances - with insights from Dr. Masaaki Hatsumi, the 34th Grandmaster of Togakure ryu ninjutsu.
I do not mean to say anything bad about modern martial arts. Whether they are sport martial arts or substantive martial arts, the end results is that they lead to a happy life. However, I'd like you to know that the former is far from life and death and the latter is close to life and death. - The Ninja of Today

Drawing parallels between ancient wisdom and modern challenges, the author demonstrates how adopting a ninja mindset can lead to success and well-being in today's world.
