Short and pointed lessons on warfare. Most of the chapters can be modified to fit other aspects of life and also provides a good insight into what a good military mind would consider when planning battles. A lot of the lessons can be internalized and modified to fit whatever goals but last two or three chapters are mainly just warfare lessons which should be expected coming from a book called The Art of War. Overall good lessons and its a quick read so no reason not to.
The art of how to avoid war, but - if you find yourself in it - then how to win. Fascinating how these strategies can be applied to war, business or relationships, yet were written 2500+ years ago (by a maybe-real author). Amusing to read about various strategies from the past, such as monitoring the movements of birds or taking the time to evaluate topography.

Pleasantly surprised by how much sex and astrology showed up!! This had multiple interpretation for each passage which was really interesting and fun to read, great logic/strategy exercises/info!
A book I had oddly never read but come across frequently over the years. I found it strangely unmoving full of obvious ideas and ways of dealing with military situations. Many of the ideas are very wise, many blindingly obvious, some downright weird. I cannot understand anyone who thinks this could or should be applied to commercial relations.
