Very good for executives with limited exposure to Sun Tzu
This book is excellent for businessmen who have had little or no exposure to Sun Tzu or the Art of War. In very plain, simple and easy to read language it makes a clear bridge between the art of business and the art of warfare.
Some will say that this book is too simplistic, but the real question is why would this book have to be difficult or too involved? The Art of War is a simply written book, but it is the lessons that are hard to grasp and understand. Plain language does not automatically denote simple thoughts. The best authors and teachers in the world are the ones who can simplify the most difficult theories and make them accessible to everyone.
I think this book does just that and is an excellent beginning point for businessmen and their introduction to The Art of War and Chinese philosophy.

A simple guide for life
This is a great guide. If your a serious scholar of "the art of war" then this book will be too simple for you. Although The strength of this book is how easily it conveys the principles of the art of war. It's a great guide for the lay person, if you find yourself struggling in your personal and professional life read this book. I found myself working extremely hard and getting no where fast. I have begun applying it's principles to my day to day life. I have noticed a change. This book has helped me come out on top in a few business situations, and I find myself rereading it from time to time.

A Simple, Useful Guide
What I liked about Krause's book was the way he explains the teachings of Sun Tzu for the simple folk. He wrote the book to help the business man or woman. It helped me see the deeper lessons Sun Tzu has to offer as well--lessons about life. Similar Products
