I thought it was a book on how to smartly fight a war. Then I re-read it when I was 28 and it occurred to me that it may be an instruction book on how to navigate an honorable life. Years passed and I recently found it at the bottom of a box in my closet. I read it again at age 56. I realized it has more to offer. If you read this book; you will actively have to replace Sun Tzus' ancient terms and placement of hierarchy and apply them to modern situations and people. Family; bosses; neighbors; employees and the list goes on. It is my belief that this "manual" can help solve minor and major disruptions in life if used correctly. It is a book meant for good.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Success through the agesBy RitacFlipping through it I glean bits and pieces of an organized mind. I can easily understand why this book has existed for more than 2000 years. My intention is to read it a little at a time so that I absorb some of the philosophy. I am not interested in war but I am interested I how men think and plan; this should be an excellent guidebook.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.
