The Modern Art of War

Summary

Sun Tzu’s Art of War has been read mostly as a book of war strategies that teaches us how to beat our opponents on the battlefield.

The Modern Art of War presents a new interpretation: it isn't about conquering your enemies, devising strategies to overtake armies or getting ahead against 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 that the Art of War was written not for a king, but for the people?

Each chapter begins with the original text from the Art of War followed by an overview, applied practice, thought-provoking prompts and a chance for your own reflection. Includes:

– The complete text of the original Art of War.
– Explanation of the symbolism, eg the 'battlefield' stands for the terrain of the mind, 'war' for conflict between the lower and higher self, and the 'enemy' as our conscious thoughts, emotions and perceptions.
– Chapter-by-chapter guidance to the deeper meaning of the Art of War.
– Over 150 reflection questions that prompt the listener to understand the text and guide them in their self-development journey.
