The Art of War

While watching The Contender (yes, I watched that show, didn’t you? each week 5 rounds of non-stop testoooooooooosterone action!) I recall a discussion about the book The Art of War. It sounded similar to another book I had briefly read through.

If you do a Google search you’ll find lots of information on the Internet about this. It’s an ancient book which is still very contemporary – probably because basic human nature hasn’t changed that much.

The other book I was thinking of which is much more recent is The 48 Laws of Power. It, too, is quite fascinating.

And, by the way, Sergio, the winner of The Contender is the one who brought up The Art of War. Did he win by employing the principles in this book? Perhaps. But, I think it was more his knowledge of how his opponents were employing those principles. Smart as he is cute!
