Product Description
Mind Karate by Brandon Iurato takes the 21 ancient principles of karate and applies them to mental perspectives. Geared toward the individual who wants to step into a bigger and better arena in their life and career, Mind Karate: How to Kick Your Own Butt drills down to the core causes of frustration and failure. Iurato talks about the concept of the open hand or letting go. He discusses the mindset of being one's best rather than winning and many other revered inner truths of karate. Iurato tells the story of his life living hand-to-mouth as a blue-collar worker. He describes how he transformed his thinking until he was hired by a Fortune 200 company as a sales trainer with no education and no experience, simply enthusiasm. Anyone, whether a corporate executive or military personnel, can read Mind Karate and come away understanding the basic mental building blocks to achieving greatness.

 This is a Book to Change Your Life January 22, 2008
Do not be fooled by the cover of this book. While the principles of karate and martial arts are thoughtfully weaved into the "take away" points of the author, this is a book that will change your life. Fundamentally, it is a work that inspires and teaches you how to make your life the way that you want it. Brandon's own story--his challenges, losses, and feeling that there is something more we all can do with our lives--is what makes this work unique, meaningful, and inspirational. While it is less about "kicking your own butt" than living your own dreams, the practical wisdom the author provides --the why and the how of it all-- will give you the boost you need to get started today! I plan to purchase more copies for my staff.
 Just do it! October 15, 2007
The title itself says it all. It's a very simple concept to apply, yet it
can be so difficult to achieve one's dreams and goals. The author takes you
through a journey, showing you how to become better in areas you've
identified to focus on. Iurato accomplishes this in thought provoking ways,
which cut through a lot of the traditional self-help hype, breaking your
path down in manageable steps to help you to achieve immediate results.
One of the most impressive things I found with this book is the fact that
the author actually asks the reader for feedback at the end of each chapter
when the exercises are completed.
The book gives a clear snapshot of Brandon's passion in assisting others
with achieving a better way of living. If you're looking for a self-help
book that will give you tools and guiding principles to move forward in your
life - you won't be disappointed in choosing this book. If you do the work
in this book - your life will change - period!
This book really does kick butt! October 8, 2007

I didn't know what to expect from this book but I bought it after hearing Iurato speak at my company. Wow! I love it! It takes the 21 principles of karate and brings them into real life, like how do you get out of poverty, divorce etc and make it big. So many books are not realistic for regular people. This one gave me concrete examples and great exercises at the end. I bought copies for my teenage nephews and several for friends.
