SkyLight Paths Publishing,US (Verlag)
978-1-68336-339-2 (ISBN)
Discover the spiritually incisive strategies for peacefully resolving conflict
in this masterpiece of military strategy.
Written 2,500 years ago by Chinese general Sun Tzu, The Art of War is a poetic and potent treatise on military strategy still in use 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 and quickly 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
Now you can experience the effectiveness of Sun Tzu's teachings even if you have no previous knowledge of The Art of War. Insightful yet unobtrusive facing-page commentary explains the subtleties of the text, allowing you to unlock the power of its teachings and help prevent and resolve the conflicts in your own life.
