Synopsis

Forget everything you think you know about strength, strategy, and success. This brilliant adaptation of the ancient masterpiece The Art of War shows women how to use Sun Tzu's philosophy to win in every aspect of life.
Would you like to transform your weaknesses into strengths? Succeed at work without compromising your ethics? Integrate your style and personal philosophy into every action you take? If so, this audiobook is for you. Chin-Ning Chu brings the eternal wisdom of philosopher-general Sun Tzu to women looking to gain a better understanding of who they are and, more important, who they want to be.
In the West, when we think of war, we imagine battle, casualties, brutality. But Sun Tsu, who wrote The Art of War 2,500 years ago, was Chinese, and their view of war is not about fighting. It is about determining the most efficient way of gaining victory with the least amount of conflict. That's why his book is particularly appropriate for women, as most women are not comfortable with direct confrontation. Women are natural negotiators and problem solvers; most prefer win-win situations, rather than "winner takes all".
Sun Tzu's book is about the application of strategies, and every strategy requires us to understand the people around us, our own strengths and weaknesses, our goals and our fears. We must integrate ourselves and our unique talents into the strategies we employ in order to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of our goals and dreams.
The Art of War is the most influential book on strategy ever published, selling tens of millions of copies worldwide. Written by one of today's foremost authorities on Sun Tzu, The Art of War for Women is sure to become a classic in its own right.

For most of my life I’ve been a misogynist whilest being unaware.

Goodreads review by Nenette on August 04, 2011

Just superb! A very helpful book specifically written/translated for women, though men can definitely benefit from it too. It’s not something that you will read then relegate to your shelf to eat dust. You would want this book on a place where you can easily reach for it, then read snippets again. H......more

Great cliff note version of the ancient Art of War book I tried reading the original Art of War a few times and found it boring and frustrating to try to make modern sense of ancient thoughts. This book delivered in clarifying the original book and framing the ideas for women and the challenges that......more

Goodreads review by Vickie on August 03, 2016

Difficult book for me to read. I made it through the first few chapters, but kept putting it down, then reading a few pages, skipping a few. Finally, I gave up this week. I didn't find this book super interesting or helpful. A few nuggets on strategy and building alliances with key colleagues, but t......more
