Descripción editorial
Sun Tzu on the Art of War: The Art of War is an ancient Chinese military treatise that is said to be the definitive work on military strategies and tactics of its time. Its broad and profound contents, deep thoughts, and precise logic present the essence of Chinese military theory. The author is Wu’s general Sun Wu who is born in Le An in Qi in the Spring and Autumn period of ancient China. It is an important legacy of the Chinese military strategists. People keep doing researches on it in some 2500 years. Emperor Li Shimin says ‘every military work is influenced by The Art of War’. Military strategies and tactics are planning, not tricks.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
The workplace is a battlefield, according to author, speaker and businesswoman Chu. In her latest, she distills The Art of War, Taoist philosopher-general Sun Tzu's international bestseller on the fundamental elements of warfare and business strategy, into a primer and call-to-arms for working women. In vivid battlefield terminology, Chu covers everything from promotions and work attire to dealing with sexual harassment and male chauvinist co-workers. Lessons tend toward a "universal nuggets of wisdom" format; one of the keys Chu advances is "Know Thyself," because "how well you know the world around you is directly proportional to how well you know yourself." Other chapters cover the disposition of winning, conflict strategy, the utility of imagination, techniques for management and "fireproofing yourself." At a time when the ideal of a full, fulfilling work and home life seems more difficult than ever to achieve, Chu's primer on becoming "an effective strategist and warrior" will give doubters cause for reconsideration.
