Resumen del Editor

Forget everything you think you know about strength, strategy, and success. This brilliant adaptation of the ancient masterpiece The Art of War shows women how to use Sun Tzu's philosophy to win in every aspect of life.

Would you like to transform your weaknesses into strengths? Succeed at work without compromising your ethics? Integrate your style and personal philosophy into every action you take? If so, this audiobook is for you. Chin-Ning Chu brings the eternal wisdom of philosopher-general Sun Tzu to women looking to gain a better understanding of who they are and, more important, who they want to be.

In the West, when we think of war, we imagine battle, casualties, brutality. But Sun Tsu, who wrote The Art of War 2,500 years ago, was Chinese, and their view of war is not about fighting. It is about determining the most efficient way of gaining victory with the least amount of conflict. That's why his book is particularly appropriate for women, as most women are not comfortable with direct confrontation. Women are natural negotiators and problem solvers; most prefer win-win situations, rather than "winner takes all".

Sun Tzu's book is about the application of strategies, and every strategy requires us to understand the people around us, our own strengths and weaknesses, our goals and our fears. We must integrate ourselves and our unique talents into the strategies we employ in order to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of our goals and dreams.

The Art of War is the most influential book on strategy ever published, selling tens of millions of copies worldwide. Written by one of today's foremost authorities on Sun Tzu, The Art of War for Women is sure to become a classic in its own right.

A different take on feminine roles in business

This has a ethnocentric lens that helps recognize differences and strengths of American and Chinese culture that provides valuable insight but may not be appropriate in all work place environments. Good for rising business women looking to get an edge in new markets.

Great book for Women!

Wish I'd read this in my 20's! Great advice for women! Worth the read! Brilliant!

EXCELLENT

I plan to gift this book to all of my mentees. Great positive lessons on navigating business relationships.

Phenomenal

EVERY working woman and every woman who is looking to move in an institution or organization should read this book. The sooner in your career the better.

This is good that I’m getting a hard copy

This is good that I am getting a hard copy. Where can I find one?

Excellent! Very clear interpretation

After having read several times the Art of War and never quite understood it, this book finally provides the modern interpretation I so much needed! And it will be useful for everybody, not just women!!

Amazing! Highly reccomend it!

This book is beautifully narrated, great voice. easy to comprehend, great for men as well. Yes it is the first version for women, but the knowledge can be applied to any situation or circumstance for any individual. If I had read this prior to my failing (corporate) job, I would have had more insight to understand why. Lesson learned. Also, great to refference as needed.
