Living By Bushido Guide - Depth Not Width

What code do you live by?

You already have one. Whether it’s serving you or sabotaging you, you’re living by some kind of code.

This guide is designed to help you uncover it, challenge it, and shape it. We’ll walk through the eight virtues of Bushido—Justice, Courage, Compassion, Respect, Integrity, Honor, Loyalty, and Self-Control—and explore what they look like in a modern life.

What struck me about Bushido wasn’t the swords or the combat—it was the mindset. The Bushido Code wasn’t about aggression or domination. It was about discipline, honor, justice, and self-control. It wasn’t about brute strength. It was about inner strength. Mental toughness. Character.

That’s when it clicked: The battles we’re fighting today aren’t on the battlefield—they’re in our heads. They’re in the decisions we make when no one’s watching. They’re in the conversations we have with ourselves when things get tough. That’s where modern warriors are forged.

So, back to the question: What code do you live by?

This isn’t just a workbook. It’s a weapon. A tool to sharpen your mindset, challenge your habits, and transform the way you live—day in and day out.

You’re not here to read about Samurai. You’re here to become one—in your own modern way. This guide will walk you through the eight virtues of the Bushido Code and help you put them into practice in your real, everyday life.

Let’s build your code and bring it to life.
