The 33 Strategies of War (Joost Elffers Books) Review
In politics, business, sports and the like, they all have elements of warfare. Even the game of chess can benefit from the concepts within this book. You have to know what you're reading and fine tune it towards your goal.
Like Robert Greene's 48 Laws of Power, this is also quite brutal in it's honesty. There is nothing amoral about this read or 48 Laws of Power. They are what they are. These strategies are used all the time in the real world and not always in war. You will find this book in the Business Section of any bookstore.
If you're easily unnerved by ideals associated with war, don't bother reading this book. But if you digest the information within the pages, you can protect yourself from being manipulated, taken advantage of and turn the tables on them

Great Book for Life Strategy - MT Lindsey -
This book is great. I decided to read one chapter a day and reflect on my learnings and it REALLY helped. The examples it provides to merit its suggestions are awesome. So not only do you learn about how to apply strategy in your life, but you also learn about world history. I recommend this book strongly. Don't be fooled by the name. The "War" aspect of this book does not only relate to soldiers on the battlefield, but it also helps you wage war against your own bad habits, and it helps you recognize what to do in a situation which can have war-like attributes (except on a smaller scale).
Interesting book - Purple Pie Lady - Louisiana, USA
I bought this book for my 16 year old son. He read the whole book and did a report on it for school. He got an A! Good learning experience.
very good read - J. L. Durbin -
I ran across this book by accident. Killing time in the bookstore and picked it up.
It was compelling from the 1st glance. I love the historical references. He uses examples from military history, but he also includes stories from people that have excelled in their chosen professions. Alfred Hitchcock, Muhammad Ali, Roosevelt.
This book has applications anyone that has to deal with other people can use everyday. Office politics can cause a great deal of stress, this book gives you tools to handle the situations we are all faced with.
Very good book. Packed full of good info.
