A poetic and potent treatise on strategy still internationally in use in military training. Yet its principles transcend warfare and have practical applications to all the conflicts and crises we face—in our workplaces, our families, even within ourselves.

Written 2,500 years ago by Chinese general Sun Tzu, THE ART OF WAR is a masterpiece of military strategy still used in war colleges around the world. Yet its principles transcend warfare and have practical applications to all the conflicts and crises we face in our lives - in our workplaces, our families, even within ourselves.

Thomas Huynh guides you through Sun Tzu's masterwork, highlighting principles that encourage a perceptive and spiritual approach to conflict, enabling you to:

·Prevent conflicts before they arise
·Peacefully resolve conflicts when they do arise
·Act with courage, intelligence and benevolence in adversarial situations
·Convert potential enemies into friends
·Control your emotions before they control you
