If a person were to make the wise choice to read this book, I would highly recommend they randomly read it out loud to their significant other, to their children, to their best friend, to their parents, to their dog, to a stranger, or to the wall. Pick your poison. I pinky promise, you will NOT regret this decision.
p.s. One more important note, IF possible try and channel the Sphinx from Mystery Men. Don't question my suggestion. Just DO IT.

This is a quick read book, yet extremely hard to grasp knowledge in one go book (Complicated book). I may look back time to time. Each of his statement in the book, could be elaborated and interpreted colourfully in various context. Although the book focuses on war strategy, but it inevitably covers various other knowledge like psychology, human interactions, environment studies, politics and negotiation.
I am still astonished by Sun Tzu's studies and research outcome on regards to humanity, psychology, especially war strategies on 2500 year ago. These wisdom can be interpret with the current modern context, can still contain a fruitful guidance of how to win, how to know ourselves along with our enemy, take advantage of our environment. This Chinese manual, surely could numerous inspiration on our modern society and warfare. I firmly believe, the warlords and generals in the past 2500 years, has been continuously study Sun Tzu's, and his tactics shape some of the great battles in China, shared his wisdom has been shared across tons of generation.
Ultimately, Any wars / conflicts should have been avoided at any cost, whether in a Macro or Micro level. Instead, we need to pursue the goal to establish the harmony, that will the key for our prosperity future.
