Product Description:
Conflict is an inevitable part of life, according to this ancient Chinese classic of strategy, but everything necessary to deal with conflict wisely, honorably, victoriously, is already present within us. Compiled more than two thousand years ago by a mysterious warrior-philosopher, The Art of War is still perhaps the most prestigious and influential book of strategy in the world, as eagerly studied in Asia by modern politicians and executives as it has been by military leaders since ancient times. As a study of the anatomy of organizations in conflict, The Art of War applies to competition and conflict in general, on every level from the interpersonal to the international. Its aim is invincibility, victory without battle, and unassailable strength through understanding the physics, politics, and psychology of conflict.

Do not let the title fool you. This is not so much about war as it is about relationships and leadership. I am a 50 year old house wife and mother.I am also a writer and constantly searching for insights and inspirations.I inherited this copy of the book from my son when he left for college.Read a page or two a day; sometimes a paragraph will do!The words are thousands of years old but the wisdom is timeless.
