Product Description:
Strategies for winning the subtle social game of everyday life—from the bestselling author of The 48 Laws of Power and The Art of Seduction

Robert Greene’s first two groundbreaking guides, The 48 Laws of Power and The Art of Seduction, espouse profound, timeless lessons from events in history to help readers vanquish an enemy or ensnare an unsuspecting victim. Now, with The 33 Strategies of War, Greene has crafted an important new addition to this ruthlessly unique series. Structured in Greene’s trademark style, The 33 Strategies of War is a brilliant distillation of the strategies of battle that can help us gain mastery in the modern world. It is the I Ching of conflict, the contemporary companion to Sun-tzu’s Art of War.

- This isn't my typical read, but I loved it.
I actually really, really enjoyed this book. In fact I'd give it 29/33 stars. There were three or four I didn't love.
