too much music

Very good information. worth listening to more than once. The music was okay but only needed a few minutes of it. 30 minutes was way to much.

old principles do not die

old principles do not die great book to help assess the enemy or the person you're trying to sell to in a real-world experience it is a book I wanted to read for a while and glad I did

short but loaded...

almost every single sentence is quotable...will listen over and over till I master...can be applied in life and business as in war....

Endless Metaphors for Life

The Art of War, Written by: Sun Tzu, Narrated by: Mike Borris. This is an ancient Chinese military treatise dating from the 5th century BC, and the memoirs of a masterful general. It is commonly thought of as a definitive work on military strategy and tactics. You are taught strategies and then provided histories of how the elemental tactics were deployed for the overall stratagem.

One must be interested in learning about the competitive nature of life, contending therein and winning to find value in the memoir. If you see worth in such leaning then this is a study you can read and enjoy as it has much valued perceptions on combat and therein life.

This is a study, akin in depth and strategic importance as is The Prince, by Niccolo Machiavelli. You will read each and consider and return in a few years and reread and continue to learn more each visit. Its knowledge is endless.

Only one complaint...

What does Mike Borris bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

He actually sounded like I imagine Sun Tsu would. It was like getting an interesting lecture from an experienced professor.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

There were many very insightful statements that interested me greatly.

Any additional comments?

My only complaint was that in a few places, it was kind of glitchy...it repeated a few lines that were just said. I don't know if it was just my file or if it is a flaw in the audiobook itself.

Story with music. ...

I was listening to the principles taught here. I thought there wss more to the book instead some nice culturally inspired music.

A good read for any one participating in sports or any other competitive field.applied to every day life,

A classic but the ending instrumental is over kill

if you've ever been meaning to read art of war this is a good way to do so. Although there is about 40 min of instrumental at the end that's a bit un-nessisary

Art of war

The book missed some parts but other than that it was great. This book is good for a general idea.

Indispensable

Would you consider the audio edition of The Art of War to be better than the print version?

No, however I have listened to it a dozen or more times. I use the print version for reference weekly.

Any additional comments?

This is a must read (listen) for any student of leadership.
