Summary

Twenty-Five Hundred years ago, Sun Tzu wrote this classic book of military strategy based on Chinese warfare and military thought。 Since that time, all levels of military have used the teaching on Sun Tzu to warfare and civilization have adapted these teachings for use in politics, business and everyday life。 The Art of War is a book which should be used to gain advantage of opponents in the boardroom and battlefield alike。

Interesting perspective some cool ideas on strategy。

Bob Hurley

Precis of Art of WarThought this was the actual book rather than a precis of it, so despite it being a great reference you do not experience the Art of War but simply the footnotes。

Something I've always wanted to read。 Not as light as I'd thought but enjoyable nevertheless, especially they described situations from warious wars illustrating the use of the stratagems in practice。 Something I've always wanted to read。 Not as light as I'd thought but enjoyable nevertheless, especially they described situations from warious wars illustrating the use of the stratagems in practice。 。。。more

This is an interesting study on human behavior, though intended for the purpose of teaching war tactics。

"No ruler should put troops into the field merely to gratify his own spleen; no general should fight a battle simply out of pique。 Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content。 But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being" "No ruler should put troops into the field merely to gratify his own spleen; no general should fight a battle simply out of pique。 Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content。 But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being" 。。。more

Dos tempos de Platão, Sun Tzu é um dos ícones que nasceram nesses primeiros 500 anos antes de Cristo。 Sua existência inclusive é contestada por historiadores de diferentes linhas na china。 A Arte da Guerra é indubitavelmente um clássico, de refinamento e sofisticação também contestado, traduzido em muitas línguas e muito citado na área comercial, outros livros e filmes。Mas percebo que A Arte da Guerra é um livro lotados por frases afirmativas (“É assim e assado”, “Faça ou observa isso e aquilo”, Dos tempos de Platão, Sun Tzu é um dos ícones que nasceram nesses primeiros 500 anos antes de Cristo。 Sua existência inclusive é contestada por historiadores de diferentes linhas na china。 A Arte da Guerra é indubitavelmente um clássico, de refinamento e sofisticação também contestado, traduzido em muitas línguas e muito citado na área comercial, outros livros e filmes。Mas percebo que A Arte da Guerra é um livro lotados por frases afirmativas (“É assim e assado”, “Faça ou observa isso e aquilo”, “seja assim e assados”) e até construções algorítmicas (Se Então, Senão) em torno que fazer, como se organizar, como observar, interagir com inimigos e soldados。 É como se fosse um manual que consolida uma experiência tremenda, mas simples, rápido de ler e até mesmo direto demais。 Em comparação como outros autores e edições de livros que passam conhecimento numa narrativa mais envolvente e elaborada (ex: story telling), a arte da guerra é um pouco pobre nesse aspecto, requer mais investimento de tempo。 Mas não acho que não tenha valor, é possível encontrar afirmações que pode mudar a forma como se está vendo uma determinada circunstância, a exemplo de:“A garantia de não seremos derrotados está em nossas mãos, mas a oportunidade de vitória sobre o inimigo é dada pelo próprio inimigo。”“A rapidez é a própria essência da guerra。 Tire vantagem de um inimigo que se atrasou em seus preparativos, movimente-se por caminhos inesperados e ataque pontos desprotegidos”Típicos fragmentos usados por vários autores que iniciam capítulos de seus livros criando uma atmosfera temática。 É que a Arte da Guerra mostra rastros filosóficos que exigem ou dão margem para se buscar maior aprofundamento e preparo pode consolidar o conhecimento que é passado。 No fim, acho eu é algo pra ler e reler。 。。。more

Interesting book about military principles as well as insight into some of the things generals at the time would have to consider when leading military campaigns。 5/5 for helping me with my total war/paradox campaigns

The practical battlefield manual that, of course, can be best applied to life lessons and your not-as-dramatic day-to-day battles。 And it fits in your pocket。 I can't believe I haven't added this to my Goodreads list。 It is, by far, my favorite self-help book, and I'm pretty certain the only non-children's book I've read more than once。 The practical battlefield manual that, of course, can be best applied to life lessons and your not-as-dramatic day-to-day battles。 And it fits in your pocket。 I can't believe I haven't added this to my Goodreads list。 It is, by far, my favorite self-help book, and I'm pretty certain the only non-children's book I've read more than once。 。。。more

Wonder the story behind this。。。

A great example of how writing and the thoughts expressed with it can be timeless and transcend the original subject matter it intended to explore。

TimetoFangirl

If you are in the mood to read a classic of nonfiction, this is a great option。 Sun Tzu's Art of War obviously speaks a great deal to the tradition of honorable warfare, but many of these lessons are applicable to the daily life of individuals。 I don't have much to say about this beyond, check it out if you'd like to inherit literal centuries of wisdom。 If you are in the mood to read a classic of nonfiction, this is a great option。 Sun Tzu's Art of War obviously speaks a great deal to the tradition of honorable warfare, but many of these lessons are applicable to the daily life of individuals。 I don't have much to say about this beyond, check it out if you'd like to inherit literal centuries of wisdom。 。。。more

An important read。 Every one should read this。

TheDude

Every person working in the military should have read this book。

Jerry Luan

This is a must read for leadership。 Thousand years ago, Sun Tzu figured out the strongest strategy for high stake ventures: Never engage the risk and challenges directly, find ways to make them safe and easy。 This principle had been put to battle and proved successful over and over again by legendary generals, politicians and businessmen。 Warren Buffett’s investment is largely the materialization of Sun Tzu’s philosophy in investment。

Rebecca Garon

3。5 stars!As it is touted, yes, this book is full of wisdom and I’ll probably reflect back on my markings and tabs。 BUT it wasn’t as revolutionary as I thought it would be based on how much people talk about it。 There is a lot of repeated ideas and even sentences and quite a few times I rolled my eyes because of how obvious some of what he’s saying was。 Overall I’m glad I read it and because of how famous it is, it’s good to know what everyone’s talking about。

Ancient wisdom that has absolutely stood the test of time - much has changed in the two and a half millenia since Sun Tzu's day, but his advice remains applicable in today's world on literal and figurative battlefields。 Ancient wisdom that has absolutely stood the test of time - much has changed in the two and a half millenia since Sun Tzu's day, but his advice remains applicable in today's world on literal and figurative battlefields。 。。。more

Art of war with additional commentary from the author。 Art of war explores the fundamental ideas of conflict, approaching the unknown and ultimately how to manage people in order to achieve a common goal。 The concepts highlighted are key building blocks in modern day business affairs。

Explica parte de las tácticas y estrategias que se implementan en las guerras。 El autor queda corto al haberlo limitado a un ecenario y época puntual, a pesar de que han habido tantas guerras y batallas a lo largo del tiempo。 Pudo haber aprovechado este libro para explicar la formulación de tácticas y estrategias en otras organizaciones que acompañan las guerras, como en la familia, por ejemplo。

For my recent birthday, a good friend of mine gave me a fabulously satisfying scratch-off Top 100 Books Poster, where you scratch off the ones you’ve read and the title cover is revealed。 Of course, you see plenty of “Top ___ Books” lists online, but this was by far the most appealing to my tastes (and the most pleasing to look at)。 On this list, bizarrely, was a book that I had never seen on any other: Sun Tzu’s The Art of War。Suffice it to say that I would never have read The Art of War unless For my recent birthday, a good friend of mine gave me a fabulously satisfying scratch-off Top 100 Books Poster, where you scratch off the ones you’ve read and the title cover is revealed。 Of course, you see plenty of “Top ___ Books” lists online, but this was by far the most appealing to my tastes (and the most pleasing to look at)。 On this list, bizarrely, was a book that I had never seen on any other: Sun Tzu’s The Art of War。Suffice it to say that I would never have read The Art of War unless I had received a list that said, “read The Art of War。” Never in a million years。I liked it! It is a very readable, very quick, and mind-broadening account of military strategy。 Several parts of it can be applied as metaphors for general life - hence why the book has had such an influence on sport, law, and business - and other parts can’t。 It isn’t really one of those books that you read once from cover to cover, but rather one that you consolidate over time。 I would therefore recommend, once you’ve read it, downloading a set of flash cards (Anki has loads!) that you can go over from time to time。 That’s the most likely method of it sticking in your brain。 。。。more

Great translation and commentary, I liked the tie ins to the other Chinese philosophy schools and works。 Have read other translations and this is my favorite
