The Yielding Warrior is about the concept of yielding and how it can be applied to almost any area of life. The book dives into the three main directions of yielding: physical, mental, and emotional. You will learn how to break down and dissect the concept of yielding while learning how to build a set of life skills that can be applied to business, sports, education, music, art and relationships. Yielding has three areas of practice ritual, active, and philosophical based training applications. "The Yielding Warrior" helps you to understand why we use these different areas and how you can use them to create a life practice for yourself. The art of yielding has been practiced for centuries and in reality, everyone does it to some degree. As one of my old instructors once told me "it is easy to get an athlete to 85% of his or her potential the last 15% is always exponentially harder". The true beauty in the arts is always in the last 3-5% of your potential. As you watch someone like Michael Jordan play basketball or listen to music created by Johann Sebastian Bach you can appreciate their magical abilities and feel the energetic emotion emanating when they perform. Yielding helps us to be more aware of, and to nurture these subtleties that allow our passion to shine.

Annie Ernaux's Look at the Lights, My Love about Auchan Hypermarché Cergy
Recording her visits to a store near Paris for over a year, she captures the world that exists within its massive walls. Through Ernaux’s eyes, the superstore emerges as “a great human meeting place, a spectacle”—a flashy, technologically advanced incarnation of the ancient marketplace where capitalism, cultural production, and class converge, dictating our rhythms of desire. With her relentless powers of observation, Ernaux takes the measure of a place we thought we knew, calling us to question the experiences we overlook and to gaze more deeply into ordinary life.
