The Art of War Review

Why you should read Sun Tzu's guidelines for winning war!

I am not a warrior! And definitely, not a strategist. I am totally hopeless when it comes to anything that requires fighting and conniving. I shiver at the thought of being in the high-power corporate world or God forbid, politics.

“I believe that we should live in harmony and peace and love. We should not judge but instead, support one another in reaching personal goals.”

Unfortunately, the quote above is total crap!

In the real world, in nature itself, there is no such thing as peace and harmony forever. The governing rule is 'survival of the fittest'. Without this rule, there would be no evolution. And on a personal level, there would be no growth.

We need to fight to survive, not only against others but against ourselves. It is the reason that each little bird must break out of its own shell and every butterfly, its pupae. If we are robbed of the chance to fight, we become weak and useless.

The Art of War Review

The Art of War is a book about military strategy in a feudal society. There are clear guidelines on how one would go about defeating their enemy in a war if one were to be dropped in an ancient battleground.

However, the lessons, which have been so clearly outlined in the small volume, are also applicable to the modern battleground, both literally and figuratively. Naturally, my interest is in the figurative battle which I wage against myself and the people around me.

I love this book because it is concise and clean, and each line is soaked in knowledge. I cannot truly review it without reading it out loud!

Have you read The Demon King is Reincarnated with a Hero System? Available on Webnovel.

It is not an attempt at inspiring you by talking on and on about inner power and providing pedantic advice like modern self-help books. It is essentially a rule book on survival with clear points for each aspect of battle.

It is not a cheerleading book to boost your morale.

It is a compass for someone who has a goal and is willing to do whatever it takes to accomplish it.

It is a bible for those who are ready to fight and get bloody.

So, if you are struggling with a war that does not seem winnable, grab yourself a copy!

Trust me. It is worth it.

More importantly, it is free.
