I just finished reading "Living the Martial Way", by Forrest E. Morgan and I found it to a be a well thought out and insightful look at what it means to be a true warrior.
For those that are warriors it articulates and provides good insight on some of the intangibles and foundations of character that make a person a true warrior. It provides a wonderfull stepping stone for introspection and personal growth bringing to the forefront characteristics that all warriors have but they don't always recognize, allowing the individaul to polish those traits.
For those that are not warriors it provides an excellent insight into why these individuals think and act the way that they do. It also has the potential to lay the ground work for those who wish to assume the mantal of warriorship.
I especially liked the authors thoughts on training and honor ( a grossly misunderstood concept these days).
I would reccomend this book to anyone who has not read it especially those involved in the martial lifestyle.
