"Wisdom of the Mystic Mountain Warrior
Life Lessons from a
Master of the Mixed Martial Arts"
By Edward
Armstrong
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to visit
Peter’s Mystic Mountain home and work directly with him on a regular
basis? To have him personally assess your behaviors, habit patterns, and
mindsets, then guide you to more effective ways of thinking and being? To
be the one-on-one recipient of the simple yet profound wisdom that Peter
shares so generously?
If the answer to any of these
questions is “yes,” then Wisdom of the Mystic Mountain
Warrior by Ed Armstrong is must reading for you! This book
picks up where Armstrong’s first book The
Path to Mystic Mountain ends, and tells the story of his
first year of martial arts training with Peter.
As Armstrong
quickly learns, training with Peter is vastly different from anything he
has experienced in his previous thirty years as a karate student and
instructor. To be sure, Peter’s lessons are filled with better ways to
punch, kick, and grapple. However, each lesson also contains unique
metaphors on how to live a better life. Armstrong captures these beautiful
gems of wisdom and demonstrates how he and Peter have been able to
successfully apply them in their lives outside the ring.
You don’t have to know anything about the martial
arts to appreciate Wisdom of the Mystic Mountain
Warrior!
The theme that permeates
the book is personal excellence and how to achieve it, as illustrated by
someone who consciously lives every moment in the pursuit of this high
standard. Readers of this new book will get a rare insight into Peter as
he shares personal stories and life experiences with Armstrong to provide
teaching points for his lessons. Each of the 19 chapters in the 240-page
book contains a lesson that the reader can apply to various aspects of
life.
These chapters
include:
· Being Open to Change
· Combining
Action with Purpose
· Putting Pain in its
Place
· Choosing Your Response
· Using “Constructive
Discontent” to Achieve Excellence
· Chipping Away the Useless
Stuff
· An Awakened Life
· …and much, much
more!

delivered another masterpiece! In his new book, Wisdom of the Mystic
Mountain Warrior, Eddie shares a priceless series of personal experiences
he has had while training with the world-renowned martial artist, athlete
and teacher, Peter Ragnar. The stories and experiences are riveting

with Peter and Eddie as each story unfolded.
Whether you are a martial
artist or not, you will benefit immensely by reading this amazing
