This book by Yamamoto Tsunetomo came up once on Lex Fridman in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: guest. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“reading the hagakure going back to philosophy books this was really impactful on me as a younger adult”— guest
The guest here is Josh Barnett: Former UFC heavyweight champion and one of the most accomplished catch wrestlers and submission grapplers in history, with a 25-year career. Known as a deeply self-taught philosopher of martial arts and violence. Catch-wrestling champion Josh Barnett and Lex Fridman trade Nietzsche, the philosophy of violence, and what combat reveals about being human.
