if you are far, make your enemy believe you are close, if you are close, make him think you are far… some real smart philospohy in this book, real applicable even today which is great, very universally speaking i want to buy the book, i returned it to the library like a year ago
I saw a few copies over the weekend. There are many updated versions of this. I’ll probably buy a modern version, just so it will be easier to understand.
My dad has the book it’s not a rather big quite a small book I read most of it God it’s an intresting book.
After just finishing the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu I am eager to read more of these insightful writings.
Guess I will hit the library again to locate a copy. Can’t wait! :)
It’s okay it doesn’t take to long to read but it’s not that great. Very insightful for his time but not that great a read for average person.
It’s annoying slogging through the parts about how many shields and chariots to bring to battle, and the way concepts are worded is a little hard to get around. If you want to read this I reccomend paying some extra cash to get a good version with a lot of foot notes in order to clarify things.
I read references to “The Art of War” in other books I like to read. So if I understood the one I would get more enjoyment from the other. Case in point. I read a Robert A. Heinlein book called “Farnham’s Freehold”. A very good read. Then I was studying up on real estate and found out what a “freehold” was in real estate terms. Now I found the book a little more fun to read the second time.
A friend at work had a quote from the book on his wall so I bought the book and read it. It was great! Concise but informative. I named my friend’s computer “warlord” after finishing the book since it fit his management style.
