Despite the cruel madness of war, you will find wisdom within The Art of War by Sun Tzu.
This ancient text from 6th century B.C.E. China step-by-step explores the many factors and issues to which any ruler and general must attend when waging war. But Sun Tzu was not all about blood, guts, and glory. The bulk of his advice is meant to avoid war because it is expensive and risky for the state. And for these reasons, one must try to go into battle only when victory is possible and avoid battles when the circumstances are bad.
The teachings of Sun Tzu can be applied by any reader to numerous problems because the lasting value of this ancient work comes from its attitude toward solving problems. War is a problem that will lead to either success or failure. By reading The Art of War, your approach to solving many problems will be expanded because you will see the value of a disciplined analysis of many variables instead of being led purely by emotions or focusing on the obvious. One of the most important lessons in The Art of War is to factor yourself into your calculations. What are you capable of? What do you want?
Reading an ancient text is also a fascinating joy because you can feel the great scope of human history reaching across the ages. And the style of writing, even in translation, teaches purity of thought and to use words sparingly and to the highest effect. Paper was not mass produced thousands of years ago and writers knew how to be economically eloquent.
Any student of history whether a war buff or not could be easily fascinated by the teachings of Sun Tzu. His short treatise provides a quick read that will likely stick in your mind – and improve your problem solving skills – for a lifetime. If a book remains in print for well over two thousand years, then it certainly has something valuable to offer.
