About this listen

Spanning world civilizations, synthesizing dozens of political, philosophical, and religious texts and thousands of years of violent conflict, The 33 Strategies of War is a comprehensive guide to the subtle social games of everyday life, informed by the most ingenious and effective military principles in war. Structured in Greene's trademark style, The 33 Strategies of War is the I Ching of conflict, the contemporary companion to Sun Tzu's The Art of War.

Abundantly illustrated with examples from history, including the folly and genius of everyone from Napoleon to Margaret Thatcher, Shaka the Zulu to Lord Nelson, Hannibal to Ulysses S. Grant, as well as movie moguls, Samurai swordsmen, and diplomats, each of the 33 chapters outlines a strategy that will help you win life's wars. Learn the offensive strategies that require you to maintain the initiative and negotiate from a position of strength, or the defensive strategies designed to help you respond to dangerous situations and avoid unwinnable wars.

The great warriors of battlefields and drawing rooms alike demonstrate prudence, agility, balance, and calm - and a keen understanding that the rational, resourceful, and intuitive always defeat the panicked, the uncreative, and the stupid. An indispensable guide, The 33 Strategies of War provides all the psychological ammunition you will need to overcome patterns of failure and forever gain the upper hand.

Good

The narration was good as learning strategies was nice. The only reason i did not give it all 5 stars, was due to how many strategies were manipulating.

A brilliant book by Robert Greene.

Robert Greene takes what was said by Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Musashi and makes it extremely interesting with the many well written historical events he discusses in the book.

Armed and Ready

Once again Robert Greene never fails to amaze the reader with an astonishing assemblage of survival and success strategies, in a warfare context. These strategies are enhanced by numerous, marvelously detailed accounts of historical events that reinforce the valuable lessons being imparted. I am armed and ready with knowledge.

Great will buy Physical copy

I really thought the book was very well documented. It tells you how to be a Monster to protect your soldiers from other monsters. Felt like I was listening in on a secret passing of wisdom from teacher to student. There are some really good gems in this book listen and buy now.
