“The Art of War”
Sun Tzu belonged to the age of chariot warfare🏇. But his “Art of War” remains relevant even in our age of drone warfare, ballistic missiles 🚀, and nuclear☢️ weapons. He was against the idea of destroying the enemy’s land. Instead, Sun Tzu preferred to conquer enemy’s land without destroying it. The Art of War focuses on conquering the enemy by avoiding deaths and destructions as much as possible.Sun Tzu👴 said : ”To fight and conquer in all your battles is not supreme excellence; supreme excellence consists in breaking the enemy’s resistance without fighting. Therefore the skillful leader subdues the enemy’s troops without any fighting; he captures their cities without laying siege to them; he overthrows their kingdom without lengthy operations in the field.”

Thought provoking but repetitive
The Art of war has some timeless ideas on strategy and discipline and a few concepts are genuinely insightful . However the language feels repetitive at times and many points seem obvious or outdated in a modern context

Old but Great
I like the book. But it’s a bit old for our generation. Many topics or informations are not so helpful for today’s world.

Well presented
Though I don’t agree with the idea of war that humans have continued since the Genesis, it’s also important to understand the right strategies to lead as a good general if the war can’t be avoided for a valid reason. Since I found this free summarized version of the classic, I thought to give it a read. I’d say that it’s a well-presented piece of useful advice for a warrior, whether at the physical or spiritual level. I may not agree with every listed strategy as to be workable in the modern world, but most still do. At the end, I repeat as Sun Tzu said, “Anger may in time change to gladness; vexation may be succeeded by content. But a kingdom that has once been destroyed can never come again into being; nor can the dead ever be brought back to life.” It’s time humans quit their idiocy, grow to become a higher species, and work collaboratively towards world peace.

Fake product alert. Product from this seller turned out to be a fake. No transparent volume indicator and the name brand does not reflect like the original product. For such an expensive serum I was really disappointed. –
