Compiled more than two thousand years ago by a mysterious warrior-philosopher, THE ART OF WAR, is still perhaps the most prestigious and influential book of strategy in the world today, as eagerly studied in Asia by modern politicians and executives as it has been by military leaders since ancient times. As a study of the anatomy of organizations in conflict, THE ART OF WAR applies to competition and conflict in general, on every level from the interpersonal to the international. Its aim is invincibility, victory without battle, and unassailable strength through understanding of the psychics, politics and psychology of conflict.
This book enlightens without being preachy (like a bad tv movie). Like life this book doesn't have all the answers or that some answers will come in fits and starts (2 steps forward and 1 back)or you have to read the sequel "Heres to the Sophomores". More importantly it truly captures the perspective of these teens who inhabit that limbo of adult-not-adult, like the movie "Firstborn". Yet another theme is the limited life experience of some teens can result in feeling cornered or not knowing a "B" side can be a hit too. In the end, the teachers, friends, or family or, all 3 (if you're lucky) can save you from yourself, meet you halfway, help you help yourself, and have the potential to truly change your life...for the better.
