What are we striving for in this life if not to attain happiness, which each one of us views from a different aspect?

What are we striving for in this life if not to attain happiness, which each one of us views from a different aspect? There are certain rules that must be observed in order to reach this enviable state. There are also certain dangers that must be avoided. In fact, we must overcome and eradicate our faults as energetically as we would rid ourselves of an enemy. Among these faults, says Yoritomo, is "Timidity," which many narrow-minded men wrongly treat so indulgently that they come to view as commendable a quality which they should most vigorously condemn. Yoritomo-Tashi is superior to many thinkers in the fact that he is not satisfied with merely pointing out an evil; he analyzes its causes, and, in regard to mental defects, he indicates the cure.
Autorenporträt
YORITOMO-TASHI, cuyos preceptos son presentados en este libro, está ubicado como uno de los tres mejores estadistas que Japón haya producido jamás. Era el revisor del código legal del Imperio, y el organizador del feudalismo militar, rescató a su tierra natal del abismo de desmoralización en el cual se había hundido. En 1186 estableció la sede de su gobierno en Kamakura, donde organizó un cuerpo administrativo, similar en sus métodos y operación al gobierno metropolitano. Por lo que se sabe de su carrera pública, es evidente que solía ejercer una influencia dominante sobre las mentes de su gente. Para él, el arte de influenciar a los demás era la clave para el éxito.
