About the Book

"The Art of War" by Sun Tzu is one of the world's most profound treatises on strategy and leadership, and it has been a best seller in numerous editions around the world. Perhaps best known for the dictum "win without fighting", "The Art of War" has attracted millions of readers seeking to understand the underlying dynamics of conflict and victory. However, for all the popularity of the various editions, "The Art of War" remains one of the most difficult texts to understand and apply successfully in daily life. While readers intuitively sense the profundity of "The Art of War" and the powerful coherence of its strategy and tactics, the practical application remains elusive.This book is one of the first to make its strategies accessible, relevant and applicable to any aspect of life in today's world. While "The Art of War" comes from an ancient lineage of Chinese military commanders and is widely adopted for use by modern soldiers and business people, "The Rules of Victory" will show that the text is just as valuable and compelling for anyone in a leadership position who seeks to bring a challenging project through resistance to a successful conclusion. James Gimian and Barry Boyce, who collaborated on a best-selling translation of the text, reveal that "The Art of War" is not in fact about "making war", but is a manual on how to transform the complexity and chaos of unfolding situations into a victorious campaign to accomplish your goals.

About the Author :
Barry Boyce is a member of the Denma Translation Group and has taught seminars on The Art of War. He is a senior editor and staff writer for the Shambhala Sun magazine.

Review :
"James Gimian has been amazingly skillful at translating Sun Tzu's Art of War into everyday lessons that our global management team can apply on a daily basis at our rapidly growing and cutting-edge technology company."--Marc Benioff, Chairman and CEO, salesforce.com "This profound and practical interpretation of The Art of War is a wonderful gift to all of us who are working, in our sphere and in our own way, to make the world better--and to do so with an approach that 'takes whole.' I applaud this beautifully clear, purposeful, and valuable work."--Adam Kahane, author of Solving Tough Problems "There are exquisite gems to be found in the deep seeing and listening this ancient text--here brought to life by Gimian and Boyce as a Way of being, a Way of acting wisely in the modern world--invites us to contemplate and ultimately, to embody."--Jon Kabat-Zinn, author of Coming to Our Senses and Arriving at Your Own Door "Few undertakings are more urgent in today's world than deepening our understanding of conflict and equipping us with practical wisdom for engaging it. This wonderful book does both, illuminating timeless insights and offering us the skillful means to make our lives more whole."--Erica Ariel Fox, founder of the Harvard Negotiation Insight Initiative "This is a brave, unique, and important book. It demands of us a new way of being and thinking so that we can deal more skillfully with conflict and chaos. Here is 2,500-year-old wisdom that couldn't be more timely."--Margaret J.
