About this audiobook

There is a Japan you cannot see on a map. It is hidden in the silence of a moss-covered forest and whispered in the cold wind of a waterfall. Step through the Torii gate—the Kami are waiting. For over two thousand years, Shinto has been the spiritual heartbeat of Japan. It is a religion without scriptures, dogmas, or a single founder, yet it has survived the rise of modern technology to remain the defining soul of a nation. But how can an ancient path based on "spirits in all things" provide a mental operating system for the 21st century? Summarize. Understand. Master. SUMit! Life itself is a miracle. It’s time to wake up your spirit. Scroll up and grab your key to the invisible world today.
