Good tactical thoughts

The ideas are dated but good strategy is important in all aspects of "battle." Knowing strategy and defense tactics seems profitable.

Very enjoyable

I wanted to read The Art of War, admittedly to improve my mindset in terms of competitive play. The most interesting thing I can take away from this book is knowing the terrain in which you are competing against your opponent and assessing whether the appropriate tactic you are using is appropriate for that situation. It was a great short read and I hope to apply some of the tactics presented in this book.

Important

This is a book that would take multiple readings to understand . Everyone should at least try to read this book once.

Great book

This book is an excellent read. You learn about strategy and mental combat. You can apply knowledge to modern living.

Loved this book on audible...

Because it allowed me to listen to a book I have always wanted to read. I never would have gotten to it otherwise.
