pretty interesting read, except it has lots of references to death, but this is a book on JAPANESE style of management

plus, it talks about 'saving face' concept and integrity - acting same way at work, with family, in business!

This was a fun quick read. I enjoyed the parallel language to the bushido classic, as well as the lessons contained that hold up well in the modern world.
