How can one translate your metaphorical phrasing into practical fruitful advice for Westerners? Though it was written 25 centuries ago, your master-piece is currently the most read and used world-wide by strategists whatever fields they belong to. Its main guidelines recommend molding with circumstances and identifying the potential in any situation, cultivating change, avoiding conflicts as far as possible, and transforming opponents into unwitting allies! Why have so many contemporaries chosen it as their bedside book? How does such a classic from ancient rural and feudal China provide a successful answer to our modern personal and professional preoccupations? To take up such a challenge and make understandable and applicable the precepts of Sun Tzu, the author develops and adapts one by one the 36 traditional Chinese stratagems and enriches them by resorting to the major Asian and Western thinkers of strategy. By telling stories and assuming a deliberate purpose of popularization, he provides keys to conceive creative strategies based on three major principles: efficiency, harmony and paradox.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Art of War is the earliest known treatise on war and military strategy in the world. It is a systematic guide to strategy and tactics for common men, business leaders, rulers and commanders. It is regarded as one of the most influential philosophical works of Ancient China. Sun Tzu's teachings are brief yet elegant, simple yet philosophical and exceedingly pragmatic. The book has recently been endlessly reinterpreted, reinvented, and imitated. Sun Tzu was a Chinese military strategist, Taoist philosopher and general in the 6th century BCE. His insistence on the close relationship between political considerations and military policy greatly influenced many modern leaders and strategists, including Henry Kissinger. This deluxe edition covers The Art of War in three parts. Part 1 presents the best selling and most authentic translation of Sun Tzu so far, the translation of Lionel Giles. Part 2 includes an extensive introduction to the book written by Giles which focuses, among others, on the historical context of Sun Tzu's text, Sun Tzu's life and work, contemporary scholarship on Sun Tzu, and Sun Tzu's thoughts on war and violence. Part 3 includes summaries of all 13 chapters of the book, a brief history of ancient Chinese military before and after Sun Tzu, review questions for learners, a recommended bibliography of modern critical appreciations for further reading.

Download or read book Sun Tze s Stratagems written by Douglas S. Tung and published by . This book was released on 2008-12-02 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sun Tze’s The Art of War has long been recognized as China’s most profound military classic. So far, many books on The Art of War focus on translating the classic from its classical Chinese into the present day Chinese language and foreign languages, and to substantiate Sun’s theses with concrete historical examples. In this book, we are neither concerned with the military theories nor its technicalities. We focus on the strategies/stratagems in line with Sun Tze’s philosophy of winning without fighting, of destroying the enemy through tactical manipulation, and enlightened exploitation of strategic power. We believe that a systematic study of the strategic thoughts is more important. Hence, we apply the systematic classification based on basic behaviors method on the strategies/stratagems depicted by Sun Tze. At this point, we would like to define two terms. A strategy is a detailed plan for achieving success in situations such as war, politics, business, industry or sport; or the skill planning of such situations. A stratagem is a carefully planned way of achieving or dealing with something often involving a ruse. Thus, a strategy is a careful plan which may or may not incur a ruse while a stratagem must contain deceit and deception. Talking about stratagems, The Secret Art of War: The Thirty-Six Stratagems is a unique collection of ancient Chinese sayings that describe some of the most cunning and subtle stratagems. The thirty-six stratagems did not originate from Sun Tze’s teachings. However, since Sun Tze’s The Art of War has been so popular that all Chinese military generals and common people interested in strategies have studied it carefully. Ten of the “thirty-six stratagems” have their distinctive sources and are not covered by Sun Tze in his book. The other stratagems have themes ranging from loosely to closely relate to Sun Tze’s teachings. Therefore, we have reservations with the statement by a certain author: “Sun Tze wrote a book which summarized his successful experience as the 36 stratagems.” Likewise, it is incorrect to say “Sun Tze’s 36 stratagems” or “Sun Tze’s Art of War (the 36 stratagems).” This book is another effort to take a concise and thought-provoking look at the replaying of Chinese stratagems in recent political occurrences and anecdotes. It has the following features to retell Sun Tze’s stratagems. (1) The Art of War took warfare as its service and to win as its main objective. The whole process encompasses information collection, battlefield analysis, enemy assessment, command and control, tactical decision making, psychology and other important aspects of military activity. This process must be managed well. Sun Tze’s stratagems on the managerial functions (i.e. to plan, to organize, to staff, to direct and to control) of the military are included. (2) After careful investigation, we have selected fifty-two stratagems with themes which can be found in Sun Tze’s teachings. Half of these are not covered by “Thirty-six stratagems”. A systematic approach to classify these stratagems according to the basic behaviors of each stratagem enables the readers to acquire a better perspective, especially in determining the right time to do the right things. (3) The stratagems derived from Sun Tze’s teachings are as follows: A straw will show which way the wind blows. Aim at swift victory and avoid prolonged campaigns. Break the cauldrons and sink the boats. Drop stones on someone (the doomed spy) who has fallen into a well. Entice snakes out of their lairs. Forage on the enemy. General’s military orders not to be intervened by the sovereign. Hide one’s light under a bushel. Instil in soldiers a sense of awe and respect for the general. Kill the chicken to frighten the monkey. Lengthwise and breadthwise, openi
Download or read book How to Win written by Eva Wong and published by Shambhala Publications. This book was released on 2020-06-02 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Potent advice on how to think and act strategically in business, politics, and relationships--drawn from classic Chinese military and political expertise. The ancient strategies of war and politics have much to offer us in navigating the complicated challenges we face today--and to help us wisely and effectively meet our business, political, and relational goals. Here, eminent Chinese scholar and Taoist teacher Eva Wong unpacks the wisdom of The Thirty-Six Strategies, a collection of advice encoded in sayings, steeped in Chinese history and culture. She explores strategies attributed to renowned military philosophers such as Sun Tzu and Zhuge Liang (aka "The Sleeping Dragon"), along with other less-known advisors, that were implemented during three of the most chaotic eras of Chinese history--the Spring and Autumn Period, the Warring States Period, and the Three Kingdoms. Covering three categories of strategy--proactive, reactive, and desperate--Wong expertly connects the words of ancient military philosophers with timeless advice, as useful today as it was in the Tang dynasty (618-906) when this collection was originally gathered. In Chinese military philosophy and political theory, the thirty-six strategies are considered "yin" or "shadow" in nature, meaning that they operate best in darkness and concealment. As Wong writes, "Desperate times call for desperate measures, and since the thirty-six strategies rose out of times of war and conflict, it is inevitable that they were used to win wars, triumph over opponents, take advantage of situations, and survive when defeat is imminent."

Download or read book Thirty six Ancient Chinese Strategies written by Stefan H. Verstappen and published by . This book was released on 2017-04-29 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Thirty-Six Strategies is a unique collection of ancient Chinese proverbs that describe some of the most cunning and subtle strategies ever devised.Whereas other Chinese military texts such as Sun Zi's The Art of War focus on military organization, leadership, and battlefield tactics, the Thirty-Six Strategies are more suitably applied in the fields of politics, diplomacy, and espionage. These proverbs describe not only battlefield strategies, but tactics used in psychological warfare to undermine both the enemy's will to fight - and his sanity. Tactics such as the 'double cross', the 'frame job', and the 'bait and switch', can be traced back through thousands of years of Chinese history to such proverbs as 'Hide the Dagger Behind a Smile', 'Kill With a Borrowed Sword', and 'Toss out a Brick to Attract Jade' respectively. Though other Chinese military works of strategy have at least paid lip service to the Confucian notion of honour, the Thirty-Six Strategies make no pretense of being anything but ruthless.
