This is the philosophy of Samurais. It's called Bushido.
It's a balance of life that includes peace and meditation with the chaos.
There cannot be one without the other: Yin and Yang.
It explains why there is war...in order to have peace.
It also explains why there are warriors in the world to fight for such a balance.
Sun Tzus "Art of War" also encorporates the first impressions of diplomacy and psychological warfare as counterparts.

The first book may have been , The Way of the Peaceful Warrior by Dan Millman. Then he wrote books and made tapes of the spiritual life style of such a person.It included diet, exercise, spirual practices, meditation, and teachings on each.

It was a code and way of life for Samurai, a class of warriors similar to the medieval knights of Europe. It was influenced by Zen and Confucianism, two different schools of thought of those periods. Bushido is not unlike the chivalry and codes of the European knights. "It puts emphasis on loyalty, self sacrifice, justice, sense of shame, refined manners, purity, modesty, frugality, martial spirit, honor and affection"
