Robert Vernooy Book order (chronological)

Wat kan oosterse krijgskunst ons leren over de kunst van het volle leven?0?De weg? is een belangrijk concept in het oosterse denken. Deze do zit ook in budo, de verzamelnaam voor bekende Japanse krijgskunsten zoals judo, aikido, kendo en karatedo. Anders dan de meer competitieve vechtsporten worden zulke krijgskunsten gezien als een persoonlijk ontwikkelingstraject, een levensweg. Daarbij gaat het om geestelijke vorming door middel van lichamelijke oefening.0Als schrijver en budobeoefenaar bewandelt Robert Vernooy zelf de dubbele weg van pen en zwaard. In 'Van de weg naar de straat' onderzoekt hij hoe de hedendaagse westerse mens de lessen van zo?n oosterse levensweg in het dagelijks leven kan gebruiken. Kun je door budo een beter mens worden? Wie wint er, en wat wordt er overwonnen als je jezelf overwint? En hoe moet je luisteren met je buik?0Vernooys beschouwingen over krijgskunst als levenskunst zijn niet alleen interessant voor lezers met belangstelling voor budo en oosterse filosofie, maar voor iedereen die geïnteresseerd is in de kunst van het volle leven.00Robert Vernooy (1961) is musicoloog, auteur en vertaler. Hij heeft korte verhalen, romans, essayistisch werk en tientallen vertalingen op zijn naam staan. Daarnaast doet hij al bijna dertig jaar aan karate. In zijn werk als auteur komen muziek, (krijgs)kunst, esthetica en (cultuur)filosofie samen.
