"Bushido, the samurai code of ethics, prepares each of us to see what is important in life. It's truly the foundation for being a great human being." —Patsy Surh O'Connell, President of the Asia Pacific Cultural Center

Leadership lessons inspired by the Samurai spirit and the resilience of Japanese American pioneers.

In Let the Samurai Be Your Guide, Lori Tsugawa Whaley—a third-generation Japanese American, author, keynote speaker, and professional life coach—delivers a heartfelt tribute to the Nisei (second-generation Japanese Americans) while drawing upon the enduring principles of Bushido, the Samurai code of ethics. This book explores how the Samurai ethos shaped Japanese culture and influenced the remarkable leadership of individuals who navigated profound challenges with courage, integrity, and honor.

Whaley interweaves the seven tenets of Bushido—courage, integrity, benevolence, respect, honesty, honor, and loyalty—with the compelling stories of historical figures, including:

  • Senator Daniel Inouye, a World War II hero and trailblazing statesman
  • Chiune Sugihara, the diplomat who risked everything to save thousands during the Holocaust
  • Michi Nishiura Weglyn, an advocate for justice who illuminated the experiences of Japanese American internees

Through these narratives, Let the Samurai Be Your Guide illustrates how Nisei leaders applied Samurai principles to confront adversity, rebuild communities, and make lasting contributions to society.

Rather than focusing on martial prowess, this book highlights the moral strength, resilience, and service to others at the heart of Bushido. Whaley invites readers to connect with these values, offering guidance for leading with integrity and purpose in today's complex world. This unique blend of history and cultural insight celebrates the Nisei legacy and its profound lessons for leadership and humanity.
