Instead, the real art of war is the fight to control your mind and the thoughts that rule it. What if Sun Tzu wasn't a general at all, but a spiritual advisor, and that the \u003ci\u003eArt of War\u003c\/i\u003e was written not for a king, but for the people? \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEach chapter begins with the original text from the \u003ci\u003eArt of War\u003c\/i\u003e followed by an overview, applied practice, thought-provoking prompts, and a chance for your own reflection.
