Forget everything you think you know about strength, strategy and success. This brilliant adaptation of the ancient masterpiece The Art of War shows women how to use Sun Tzu’s philosophy to win in every aspect of life.

Would you like to transform your weaknesses into strengths? Succeed at work without compromising your ethics? Integrate your style and personal philosophy into every action you take? If so, this book is for you. In The Art of War for Women, bestselling author Chin-Ning Chu brings the eternal wisdom of philosopher-general Sun Tzu to women looking to gain a better understanding of who they are—and, more importantly, who they want to be.
Although Sun Tzu’s book is about the application of strategies and determining the most efficient way of gaining victory with the least amount of conflict, every one of those strategies begins with having a deep understanding of the people and the world around us. They also require us to understand ourselves—our strengths and weaknesses, our goals and fears. In other words, the aim is not to apply a series of rules coldly and dispassionately, but rather to integrate ourselves and our unique talents into the strategies we will employ.
This is not a feel-good book. (But you will feel good after reading it.) It is not a motivational book. (But you will be motivated to achieve what you want, once you are done.) Ultimately, its purpose it to provide women with the strategies we all need to overcome the obstacles that stand in the way of our goals and dreams.
Sun Tzu’s Art of War is the most influential book on strategy ever published, selling tens of millions of copies worldwide in several editions. Written by one of today’s foremost authorities on Sun Tzu, The Art of War for Women is sure to become a classic in its own right.

      In one slim book, consultant and author (" Thick Face, Black Heart" 1992, and others) Chu clarifies any mystique surrounding the enigmatic Sun Tzu's treatise on the art of war--plus translates his philosophies into practical strategies for women at work. The heart of her tale? To thine own self be true--and, further, vow to transform weaknesses into strengths. After all, elements of success (winning wars, that is) are just as critical today as 2,500 years ago: the combination of ethics, timing, resources, leadership, and managing are integral to the personalities of the best executives, men and women, today. For sure, her Sun Tzu interpretations can be added to the regular B-book litany of style and substance, personal resumes, and manager-ready qualities. On the other hand, prepare to spend time with more unusual topics, all replete with excellent advice: dealing with spies and con artists, assessing possibilities and perils of specific business terrains (that is, friendly versus complex), and insulating yourself from firestorms and other company tragedies.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2007, American Library Association.)
