The Art of War

The Art of WarThe Art of War by Sun Tzu

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I read The Art of War by Sun Tzu translated by Lionel Giles in 1910 as it had been suggested to me in a variety of ways for decades and this afternoon I thought, just do it and get it off this list of things other people think I should do.

Chapter one caused me to remember As A Man Thinketh by James Allen. For the record that actually is one of the best "self-help", "spiritual-growth", "wisdom-obtaining" books in the last century and I suspect there have been 2000 books written every year since that says what "As A Man Thinketh" says, except they didn't say it as well or as concisely.

After chapter one of The Art of War my natural habit of "thinking" kicked in to high gear and I started asking myself, "What?" and "Really?"
