The Art of War

De: Sun Tzu

Narrado por: Simon Vance

The words held within this audiobook, where written over two and a half thousand years ago, ring just as true today as they did in fifth century BC China. Best-selling author and master storyteller James Clavell (Shōgun) brought The Art of War to greater prominence in the West in the 1980s and showed how the book’s instruction was applicable on a smaller scale and could be used for personal betterment. Clavell’s wonderfully evocative foreword and helpful notes throughout the text guide the listener through preparations and battle plans, correct use of weapons and knowing when to fight - and when not to fight.

With a deep understanding of both strategy and human nature, this military treatise illustrates the fine craft of knowing one’s enemy and oneself. From military officers to CEOs to those simply looking to be more powerful in their own life, The Art of War has become required reading for anyone seeking a path of success through the modern world.

Relevant in all aspects of life where competition is key

This book is still a great read and applies to any aspect of your life where people management, competition or direct confrontation is essential. A must read!

I enjoyed this classic book yet again. it's one that I will always return to every now and then.

They made me do this

My hand was forced into giving this review in order to rate the title. This was forced.

Fascinating

this was one of the better interpretations, in my opinion. I recommend this audiobook wholeheartedly.

not my favorite

some of it seems obsolete. hard to understand. if not knowledgeable with military terms ir jargon.

Quick & Informative

Was a detail rich read that was historically informative. I truly enjoyed it, for a second time and I believe I will feel the same after a third read as well.

Excellent Book on Strategy

Very dense, but also very useful. I will probably re-listen to this book regularly to remind myself of the various great points. Luckily, the book is short enough where that isn't too much to ask 😉
