The Art of War
説明
Through allegorical narratives and concise aphorisms, the work emphasizes the importance of knowledge, foresight, and adaptability. Sun Tzu’s principles advocate for a strategic approach, where understanding oneself and one’s adversaries is crucial for success. This adaptation not only retains the essence of the original text but also enriches the cultural discourse around strategy and conflict resolution in diverse contexts today.
レビュー
The book in 3 sentences/summary:Winning without fighting is possible and preferable.Be prepared or prepare to fail.Don’t fight on ego or emotion, instead use calm strategy.My impressions:Reading The Art of War is like reading anything by Shakespeare. If you’ve never been taught how to read Shakespeare, then you don’t know how to read Shakespeare. The Art of War is no different. The good news is, The Art of War is short, so take can be used to read and re-read passages to learn how to apply its teachings to your business or life.However, as a pacifist, the idea of using war tactics in business, made my stomach churn and opened my eyes to the many ways The Art of War has influenced modern-day politics. Should you read it? (who would benefit from this): The Art of War would likely bring great benefit to a business person who has a team under them, or someone who is looking to work on their leadership skills. What I personally got from the book:Not a lot. I’m not sure how this book applies itself to a modern-day business owner who seeks to create a business built on community and cooperation. However, it would prove useful if I were to expand my team.Sure there are lessons hidden within its pages, but these lessons would be better served in a modern-day setting. For me anyway.
Ok, so I didn't finish this.It's a Chinese book about war. Not the kind I wanted to read. Just started it and read enough of it for school.
