Dalla quarta di copertina

THE WORLD'S MOST WIDELY READ MANUAL OF SKILFUL NEGOTIATION AND LASTING INFLUENCE

Sun Tzu's classic military treatise, 'The Art of War', has been in use for more than 25 centuries. Never before, however, has the text been translated with such a thoroughly modern perspective and in such an easy-to-use workbook format. R.L.Wing, noted translator of the 'I Ching Workbook', has ingenuously divided each of Sun Tzu's 13 chapters into four parts, which separates the original text into 52 weekly passages, each designed to help readers improve their negotiating skills, develop self-discipline and pinpoint obstacles that block opportunity.

'The Art of Strategy' is a work of subtlety and paradox that shows how to succeed effortlessly in rising to life's challenges. Sun Tzu believed that victory is won long before confrontation and insisted that a skilled warrior can observe, calculate and outwit the adversary without ever engaging in battle. R.L.Wing captures the essence of this masterpiece of strategic thought in elegant, precise prose. Each chapter is preceeded by a discussion and guidelines for today's readers – whose battlefields are in the office, at home and within themselves. The text is enhanced with beautiful calligraphy and space for notation.
