Why read it?
1 author picked The Soul Polisher's Apprentice as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This was one of my favourite reads ever: I truly lived through all of its pages. It is the true story of Hayashi, an 8th Dan Karate master teaching his protégé student not only martial arts but life.
I savoured every page, longing and aspiring for a similar relationship to explore such depths of the human psyche. It was one of those rare occasions when I felt the urge to contact the author, which led to a unique and wonderful friendship between Hayashi and myself.
From Viktoria's list on spiritual adventure books to open new doors to your consciousness.
