The 33 Strategies of War - my take on it

OK, so I have just finished the critically acclaimed book ‘The 33 Strategies of War‘ by Robert Greene. I won’t go into too much detail about it the book because if I did you wouldn’t need to read it!

I found The 33 Strategies of War to be good, an interesting read for megalomaniacs that are looking for a bit of confirmation that the way they are living is good and justified. The 33 Strategies of War is an interesting book on how people should discipline themselves in their daily life to get the most out of their career and their employees obviously not all the strategies should be taken literally as most ideas are derived from battlefield conflict. Robert Greene gets over this hurdle by finishing each chapter with a summery of interpretation explaining each ’strategy’ and how it applies to a none military situation.

Each war strategy chapter starts by explaining a story of a battle in history, e.g. a battles that Napoleon fought in or a battle from an ancient Chinese war. Robert Greene goes on to explain the characteristics that the general/ politician/ individual had which allowed him/her to over come the odds and claim victory.

All and all I found ‘The 33 Strategies of War‘ by Robert Greene to be a good read and even though the book doesn’t have any real spin on war it does definitely give you a few things to consider when dealing with difficult situation in work.

I would definitely recommend ‘The 33 Strategies of War’ by Robert Greene, you can buy it from amazon.co.uk for really cheap; it’s under £10. Have a look!!
