naitirps 07-20-2006 03:11 PM

great book, but then u get to the point where u get the feeling its common sense written cryptically over and over in a different context.

Great book. While some are plainly inapplicable (due to changes in military technology / realities of war), much of the book is applicable to any human activity that involves competition over scarce resources.

Great book!! :thumbsup

Marcus Aurelius's Meditations is another one but I guess these transripts are all translated into various languages.....

I have "The Art Of War For Business" ... nice and broken down...

tahiti 07-20-2006 05:59 PM

If like that book try also the book of 5 rings (not cock rings!)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Book_of_Five_Rings

A classic piece of military literature. It's a book filled with engaging wisdom. :)

Doctor Dre 07-20-2006 06:00 PM

Been there read that a long time ago. You're late in the news.

You would be better off reading "In Search Of Excellence" by Tom Peters. Its most important lesson is that most people do not fail in their endeavours because they don't know what to do, but because they only pay lip service to those things.

My short flash adaptation I did a few years ago if you want a quick browse through it:

Classic read, but if you doing it for "business" reasons might I suggest grabbing a copy of Sun Tzu Was a Sissy by Stanley Bing

Paul Waters 07-20-2006 08:04 PM

Wish the neo-cons would read it.
