The Modern Art of War: Sun Tzu's Hidden Path to Peace and Wholeness (English) (Paperback)

DISCOVER THE LIFE-CHANGING HIDDEN MESSAGE OF THE ART OF WAR A perennial bestseller, Sun Tzu's Art of War is usually understood as a book of war strategies teaching us how to beat our opponents on the battlefield. But what if the true message of this ancient Chinese text is something much more profound and relevant to us today? The Modern Art of War presents a dazzling new interpretation: Sun Tzu's book is not about conquering your enemies, devising martial strategies or getting ahead of your competitors. Instead, the real art of war is the fight to control your mind and the thoughts that rule it. What if Sun Tzu wasn't a general at all, but a spiritual advisor, and the Art of War was written not for a king, but for the people? This ground-breaking book examines the complete original text from this new perspective, explaining that a “battlefield” is the terrain of the mind and the "enemy" our limiting emotions, perceptions and thoughts. Using self-reflection prompts, it guides you in incorporating Sun Tzu's teachings into your daily life, explaining how to "conquer" or still your mind in order to gain personal harmony and self-fulfilment, and become an agent of peace in the world.
