‘The Art of War’ by Sun Tzu is a rather universal book on warfare and ways to organize it. The work is actually an ancient Chinese text which was written more than 2,500 years ago but which gives very valuable and inspiring view on the nature of war and conflict, problem solving and decision-making. There are several chapters which are brief and full of insightful information such as the role of adaptiveness, signification of information, psychological warfare, and the aspect of maintaining moderation and discipline in tactics. This work has gone beyond being used in military contexts and has evolved to being a popular contemporarily, commonly used and referenced tool used in various domains such as business, politics, amongst others and more specifically in the domain of self help. The author of the text finds ‘’The Art of War ‘’to be one of the best books that one can read to gain knowledge on how to overcome challenges that are faced in life so as to attain victory in these areas that include business and war.
