This is exactly how I ended up getting married because I told her I was not interested and she pursued me even harder and eventually I gave in and of course the marriage failed after a few years but I did get a son out of it that I've raised to be a good man so I guess there's that.
This book on the phone is perfect. I read it everywhere. It made every chaotic moment in my life more tranquil, i became so absorbed by the authors type of writing. It is one of my best reads if not the best but then again i havent read many books :D
Man, I am constantly struck while listening to these that Echo is deep water. He is as simple as a sweet child, and at the same time as complex as an old chess master. There are definitely layers. Musashi, the TaoTe Ching, and Sun Tzu all spoke about people like him being the goal. Keep on keeping on, EC.
I wanted to read War and Peace when I was only 8 years old. It was very boring, so I read Musashi instead. I had totally forgotten about it until Jocko started reading from it. Even the title didn't sound super familiar.
@@dallasdominguez2224 how do you study while taking in this information? The brain can only handle 1 frequency at a time or you won't internalize either. Anything with words while studying will cause interference. Hence why you can only listen to instrumentals during studying.
After podcast 80 and this delivery of 100 I finally secured a copy of "Musashi". All I can type is "what a read"..... If anyone is on the fence...... Do yourself the favor, pick it up.... Good luck putting it down.... Thank you for turning me on to this epic Jocko..... Changed my life.... Cheers mates

Jocko - have you ever considered doing some form of Voice acting? I've only just started listening to your stuff - but you have an amazing gravily voice that is full of timbre and weight - As an example - you would be perfect as the voice of a Space Marine Captain from Warhammer 40K or doing the opening narration for a PC game or similar.
I hear UFC fighters and WWE guys talk about going into movies and I think- I don't see it, your look isn't striking enough. Jocko on the other hand could pull off being a movie-star.
Well, he wouldn`t be the first veteran turned actor. Even Kevin Lacz from Seal Team 3, Task Unit Bruiser played himself in American Sniper. There is a long list of famous veterans and there are some celebrities that some folks would likely never would guess served. I remember how surprised I was to find out that the famous painter Bob Ross( who was most recently spoofed for the new Deadpool 2 trailer) was a veteran and that the actor Don Adams from the Get Smart television series from the 1960s and who also voiced Inspector Gadget on the popular animated series was a bad-ass US Marine Corps World War II veteran . You mentioned Sylvester Stallone`s The Expendables. I like and respect Randy Couture( who is also an veteran) but if Randy Couture can do it, so can Jocko. I`m not sure if Jocko would have any interest in Hollywood and acting unlike some UFC and WWE types and some veterans who have gone into acting or who may hold aspirations to go into acting( and Dwayne ''The Rock''Johnson, a former wrestler was the highest paid actor in the world in 2016 according to Forbes so I don`t see why someone with Jocko`s background couldn't have an acting career of some sort if wanted to have one). I could see him doing voice-overs or voice work-acting or because of his appearance and build, if we`re honest, he might be typecast in certain kinds of roles- physical, action-oriented stuff or even get typecast as a henchman or a villain and some actors are fine with being typecast, others want to ''stretch'' and prove their range as actors. But I tend to respect the ones like The Rock, Vin Diesel, Jason Statham, Mila Jovovich( who is female but who has had the same kind of acting career as the other aforementioned actors)etc, who know what they are good at and what their niche, if you will, is and accept their acting career for what it is. But no, you certainly don`t need acting skills for some movies.
Yes. But it wasn't that he was necessarily an angry person- it was just his job in the military to command people and have to raise his voice. It was behaving angry that he didn't like I would say.
On the one hand, I understand the need for yelling and for screaming at people in the military. More so than most other professions and situations, it`s appropriate in it`s context and it serves a constructive and very logical purpose. Breaking people down to then build them back up, instilling discipline and motivation, strengthening and toughening folks up. If someone can`t remain cool, calm, collected, detached( and Jocko often talks about detachment)and focused on the task at hand when they`re being screamed at, having people all up in their face and in their personal space and being berated and under intense pressure in training, how are they going to be able to do it if they`re ever in combat? As Jocko has said in his podcast, the real test is when you get into combat. I remember the actor, Adam Driver, who has most notably been in the HBO series, Girls and Star Wars:The Force Awakens and the upcoming Star Wars: The Last Jedi as the new evil emissary of the dark side, Kylo Ren, saying that after he got out of the Marines, he had to learn( or perhaps, re-learn) how to behave and speak in certain situations and that yelling at people in normal civilian professions is not acceptable. I`m considering joining a reserve unit for the Army but I have wondered how many people who have served can turn that mentality and mindset on and off. I know some people can do it, seemingly almost effortlessly. I remember how from the amazing book, One Bullet Away by Nate Fick- who was a Captain in the Marines and served in Afghanistan and Iraq and a bunch of other places( and the book and HBO series of the same name, Generation Kill, were based on the time Fick`s platoon spent in Iraq in 2003 as ''the tip of the spear'' as part of the initial invasion of Iraq) talked about how he and his Marines could turn the violence on and off-like flicking a switch( Fick would make a great guest for the podcast, too). I`m sure it`s the same for Jocko, Leif Babin and other guys that they served with and many other service members, too but knowing how to do that and learning to lead with words as opposed to just yelling, like you said in referencing Jocko`s point, makes it easier to contribute as a re-assimilated member of society when you`re discharged. I think that would be a good idea if they make that part of people`s training when they`re going through training. Yes, the shouting has it`s purpose but teach them to lead with words, as well.

Live the path. Do the right thing. The obstacle is the way. No freedom without struggle. Have personal integrity. Find it in others. Live together. Die together.
The book 'Musashi' is mostly fiction, although Musashi did write three manuscripts and some of the moments did happen, such as the duels with the Yoshioka brothers and his fight at the end of the book with Sasaki Kojiro. In fact very little is known about Musashi.
Hybrid Warrior That's what I thought. I mean I read book of five rings and even that you wonder how close it is to his actual thoughts especially after translation.
Same. I’ve been putting off reading this book for nearly 3-4 months and then after this podcast 100 came out, I heard about 30 minutes in, shut the podcast off and set off on reading Musashi. I haven’t read a more engaging fiction novel since Harry Potter when I first read it back in early grade school. Finished the book in about a week with hundreds of quotes derived from it enough to fill another small book and then proceeded with this podcast. Man, life is good!
A beautiful book and an equally beautiful conversation. "At times like this, the world, which he had once thought so full of stupid people, seemed frighteningly large. But then life, Musashi would tell himself, is not a matter of logic. The sword is not logic. What was important was not talk or speculation but action. There may be other people much greater than he right now, but he, too, could be great!"
Truly an epic saga. I was fortunate to read this as a budding martial artist in my mid teens in the '80's! That version was published as a five part series and needless to say I couldn't wait to get my hands on the next as I made my way through. Hard to imagine a better depiction of an iconic life.
This podcast is really intriguing. I enjoy it a lot!! I wonder if you would ever explore Takehiko Inoues story of Musashi called Vagabond. The telling is different but definitely a worthwhile read as well.
54:30 This reminds me of the scene Warriors where Tom Hardy’s character says he’ll fight this arrogant UFC fighter “rising star” at a gym and no one else wants to fight. Hardy is stoic, signs a waiver and after a moment he beats him to a pulp. Then says, “You owe me $200”
Congratulations on the centennial episode Jocko and Echo! This was by my far my favourite episode yet! :) Although Musashi's biography is pricey (nearly $40), its eternal wisdom is priceless! Now back to the book!
I reread this book after 20 years only a month ago. Still love it. The hardcover book I borrowed from the library back then was a treasure. Listening to Jocko with Jordan Peterson Podcast 98 I could not help but notice how similar the 'life advice' was. Free Epub: archive.org/details/MusashiEijiYoshikawa Taiko is also a good read - but only 1/2 as good as Musashi unless you love battle strategies.
I'm deeply grateful for having introduced this book to me. I literally paused the video, went to read all 997 pages of this amazing book end came back to watch this
I would pay to be able to hear jocko reading this entire book.
Let's get a kickstarter going!
Only if Tim comments on the background on each japanese mispronunciation
"The path is not a destination, the path is the way you live" Jocko's perspective on The Path/The Way, clicked for me.
Clearly Jocko Willink has truly tamed his ego - and has truly mastered the art of listening. Rare and refreshing.
Jocko is a ridiculously compelling reader.
Dude told her he’s going to be a horrible man to her and she wanted him more. Realistic
Because a man that pursues his own goals is rare. Most men get a woman and get comfortable, then they quit the pursuit of growth.
This being the top comment is funny af
@@TyMcLeod truth
This is exactly how I ended up getting married because I told her I was not interested and she pursued me even harder and eventually I gave in and of course the marriage failed after a few years but I did get a son out of it that I've raised to be a good man so I guess there's that.
This podcast is like a manly kickass bookclub.
More like the book club version of fight club.
@@jaykechurchil484 first rule of the Jocko Podcast is never skip an episode!

Which book is it
This is ONE hell of a great podcast. Thank you Jocko, Tim and Echo!
Tim's Mandarin and Japanese pronunciation are off the chart!!! Salute Tim!!!
Janet Tan makes me feel dumb instantly
Japanese is ok. His translation for peace is way off the mark.
Thank you ,God bless you for reading this glorious book to us 🇺🇸 ❤ 🙏
I rucked for 3 1/2 hours, and because of this Podcast, I forgot I was in the real world but with Musashi.... Y'all are amazing!

The mutual respect that these two guys have for each other is tangible.
Dosen't happen in life very often.
Legit
One of my favorite podcats I re listen to this at work and while I drive all the time
Loved the book Musashi.
Check out Gates of Fire. Fucking amazing. Quote after quote.
That was great. I'm gonna have to listen to this one again. So many places I didn't understand clearly. Musashi def deserves patience.
Great podcast !
Thank you so much for uploading this.
If you like Yoshikawa's novel you'll love professor Alexander Bennett's about Musashi.
Jocko Audible would be amazing
Dude, read this whole book and I will buy that shit.
Alright, I'll stop watching, get the book, read it and come back to this podcast next year. Cheers.

Doesn't this book that inspired the manga vagabond???
I think so, I am reading the manga and it says based on Eiji Yoshikawa's book Musashi
@@scramblebluejay1559 nice! Is it any good the manga?
yep it is. Also mate, the manga is incredible. I'm an avid manga reader and that is in my top 3 without a doubt.
My man used to do his podcasts in his kitchen?? Love it!!!
I assume it's Tim's house
Keep it going!! Love the podcast 👍
Absolutely loved this, thanks guys.
Congrats on the 100 men
So awesome. Thanks guys!!
Just started it... Saw 4 hours, had to comment!

This book looked quite intimidating at first, however once I got into it, it was a surprisingly fast read and an amazing read as well.
Hybrid Warrior I wonder though how does the author know all the conversations that make up the book. Musashi 's journals or something?

I spend an unhealthy amount of time listening to podcasts, but this is one of my favorite ones ever
Just got to the part where you said "go read Musashi"
Welp, tuning out. See you guys in a year. Lol
It should take maybe three months. You can even finish it in 10 days if you're a maniac like Tim.
Haha! Same here, my man! I'm on page 586. Worth every page. Worth every line of microscopic font.
Stay on the path.
@Marcus Garcia Freaking fantastic. Truly, the payout is in the final page.
Same here, finished it yesterday.
Have you finished it yet?
Will now and forever order "Giraffes Cant Dance" and any Tim Ferris book at a 2:1 ratio.
Anyone wanting more Musashi content read the vagabond manga
Jocko, if you're doing the warrior code....you must do GATES OF FIRE!
Finally, I've been saying that for ages!
As a Greek guy myself, I've read it like 5 time.
The ending of the book and the proceeding dialogue really hit me like a freight train
A beautiful book and an equally beautiful conversation.
"At times like this, the world, which he had once thought so full of stupid people, seemed frighteningly large. But then life, Musashi would tell himself, is not a matter of logic. The sword is not logic. What was important was not talk or speculation but action. There may be other people much greater than he right now, but he, too, could be great!"
This episode was Awesome!!! Fired me UP BIG time! Thank you Jocko, Timmy & Echo!!!
Truly an epic saga. I was fortunate to read this as a budding martial artist in my mid teens in the '80's! That version was published as a five part series and needless to say I couldn't wait to get my hands on the next as I made my way through. Hard to imagine a better depiction of an iconic life.
I waited until I finished Musashi to watch this. Took me three months but whats up killers 😅
This podcast is really intriguing. I enjoy it a lot!! I wonder if you would ever explore Takehiko Inoues story of Musashi called Vagabond. The telling is different but definitely a worthwhile read as well.
Tims face at 3:07:02 killed me haha he is just letting that epicness sink into his soul... you can tell he's a bit stunned.
Jocko "Back To The Book" Willink
I just bought the book after finishing vagabond (a manga based on it) I can't wait till I earn this podcast.
Did you finish it?
This is one of my favorite podcast episodes of any podcast ever. Great effort Jocko and Tim. Love you both as brothers. Take care.
I resonate with Echo's personality. Almost when you forget he's in the room, boom, he comes with something important. So modest yet dangerous.
I smile every time Jocko pronounces something correct. He is so pumped about it.
The first thing I thought when I saw Tim's face was "this guy looks like he just got done tripping" lmaoooooo
I stopped listening to this podcast to read the book, 4 months later I'm back lol
What book did you read?
I read The lone samurai: Life of miyamoto mushashi.
Apparently thats not the book.
"I don't think it'd be called scene if it's in a book" lololol I died
1:25:00
Then after a brief deliberation Jocko jumps back in confidently, "Heres a SCENE..." hahaha
54:30 This reminds me of the scene Warriors where Tom Hardy’s character says he’ll fight this arrogant UFC fighter “rising star” at a gym and no one else wants to fight. Hardy is stoic, signs a waiver and after a moment he beats him to a pulp. Then says, “You owe me $200”
My body is ready
