 Mushin?? Jul 22, 2007
By Terry Tozer
"TJSKA.com"
This is another one of those "It does what it says on the label" type books. You'll not want to put it down once you've started.
The book is arranged into many small one to three page chapters about a subject e.g. "Pacing Yourself" or "Identifying Your Priorities", then followed by a page or two on Meditations about how you might achieve what has been discussed then one page of "Resolutions" on suggested promises you should make to yourself to carry out the task at hand.
Written in a nice easy flowing & interesting manner which urges you on to want to just read one more chapter before you put it down.
Although the topics discussed immediately relate to Budo (Martial Arts), all of them can equally be applied to everyday living without little or any adaptation.

Living a simple life Aug 14, 2006
By Todd Farrell
This is one of those books that you can't put down. I'm not a big reader, nor am I big in to martial arts, however the principles in this book really apply to everyday life.
It immediately changed the way I analyze situations. There are many small details that anyone can use to change something if that is something they want to.
I have read this book a few times, mainly looking for something else to apply to life.

Water Meets World Feb 12, 2009
By terrie schauer
Amateur kick-boxer and ex-karate student, I picked up this book looking for a little mental spice to add to a relatively sparse spiritual training regimen. Be Like Water hit the spot.
Cardillo's writing is obviously colored by the practice of Kung Fu, one of the "softer", more spiritual martial arts. Needless to say, his thoughts can't be neatly applied to becoming a more effective Muay Thai kick-boxer. But in reflecting on and cultivating the art of living, this book is thought-provoking.
Be Like Water holds a lot of great warrior-wisdom. My favorites are the sections on responding appropriately and controlling urges. Cardillo expresses very effectively the utility of economy of movement/reaction, just as he clearly explains the benefits of correctly assessing which threats to react to.
Be Like Water isn't a bible for up-coming boxers. I don't expect it to help me very much in the ring. But in trying to live the rest of my life well, I expect to recall and return to Cardillo's writing.

Practical Wisdom ~ For the Mind, Body and Spirit Aug 13, 2006
By Les Saisons de Ma Vie
"mariacc"
Joseph Cardillo offers practical wisdom for everyday living in this brilliantly written book. The format is well-designed ~ with a spiritual saying at the beginning and resolutions at the end of each chapter. It's wonderful finding opportunities to apply his ideas, to `go with the flow' of life ~ to conserve strength and energy ~ to move through life more gently.
A Steady Guide. Nov 01, 2011
By Sci Fi Fan
This is a book which seems to be attempting to insert the spiritual side of the martial arts, into the daily life of the working class. If that is truly the author's intention, than this book quite simply, works. There's no other way to put it...this is an honestly helpful little guide to life. Exactly what this book claims to do, is what it does. Accept no substitutes.
