A rare piece of magic and insight!!

This is one fantastic book!! I am very new to the world of martial arts and was looking for something to give me a sort of intro. "On the Warrior's Path" not only gave me a wonderful overview of martial arts in general, but the incredible insights on the philosophy of martial arts as a lifestyle inspired me in the way no other book has before!
Mr. Bolelli is obviously very well versed in martial arts as well as many other subjects. He finds ways to connect Nietzche to Bruce Lee, and Taoism to Star Wars. Best of all, he connects them all to the central theme of martial arts. His writing style is light, fun, and entertaining, and yet his ideas are deep, impressive, and very informative.
This book is not just for martial artist's, but for their friends, family, and for anyone interested in looking at life from a different angle. I highly recommend it, and I guarantee I will read any other books I find by Mr. Bolelli!!

One of my favorite books of the year!

This is not only one of the most original books I have read about martial arts in general, or philosophy and martial arts more specifically. This is one of the most original books I have read, period. How often does it happen do run into an author who can dance around from Nietzsche to the Pearl Jam, from Ultimate Fighting Championship to environmentalism? But above all, my favorite aspect of the book is the excellent writing style. It reminds me of Tom Robbins (if I remember correctly he mentions Tom Robbins in the acknowledgments so they may actually know each other).
The book is a collection of essays on a variety of topics related to philosophy and the martial arts. Some chapters are downright brilliant (The Body as a Temple, The Warrior as Bodhisatva, and Epistemological Anarchism: the philosophy of JKD). A couple are a bit weaker. But overall, this book is a work of genius. This should be required reading for all martial artists. Specialists in the field of martial arts are going to see how their practice can be tied to a much wider world. And people who do not care for martial arts, may find some unlikely inspiration here. Truly amazing. I look forward to whatever this author has in store next.
