The Art of War

Author's name: Sun Tzu

This book before you is the culmination of the rich military experience of Sun Tzu, commander of the armies of the Chinese Empire. He established the indispensable rules for every commander, ensuring victory in the best of circumstances, and limiting losses and avoiding catastrophic defeats in the most difficult of circumstances. The Chinese sage asserts that strength alone is useless , but that intelligence and knowledge can also determine the fate of an entire army. These rules, which reflect considerable skill and experience, are almost the first written military constitution and are now thousands of years old. Their survival to this day is undoubtedly evidence of their proven effectiveness in countless wars. But what if we were intelligent enough to apply these theories to our lives and attempt to apply them in our daily reality? In an age where life itself has become a war, we are in dire need of a book like this that guides us to the shortest, most intelligent, and proven ways to survive our small daily wars.
