The Art of War Visualized: The Sun Tzu Classic in Charts and Graphs by Jessica Hagy

3.0

Only a fool knows not that reading this book cannot make one a good strategist or a successful opportunist.

I was once motivated by the likes of Francie (Gilmore Girls got me to read this) and it was just a scratch on the surface of what the book shows.

After a decade, re-reading with a mindset to ground my stance in a healthy competitive environment, this book now only sounds vindictive to me and it's exhausting. Since I run with no fast paced and driven companies, I can only fit this read in with smaller populace and matters. And coming from an environment clapping for one another, taking turns, the rest is just how I see myself in the pool, I see this book as a way of making efficient management proposals, dealing with tough decisions, keeping tensions at bay, understanding liability, and the way I see it, anything to do with power and money.
Unless, Francie resurfaces.
