For Robert Greene, life is a continuous struggle; it is nothing short of a perpetual war. In his ‘The 33 Startegies of War’, he has drawn an interesting portrayal of the way the rules of warfare can be put to application in our relationships, work place & other spheres of daily life.
As in his ‘The 48 Laws of Power’, the author has relied heavily upon historical narrative. However, it is 'less Machiavellian' than his previous work. The book is littered with sparkling pearls of practical wisdom from cultures all over the world. With a brilliant interpretation of historical events, Greene takes the reader inside the heads of some of the best strategists who ever lived.
I would recommend this book to those who are interested in war; history; lives of war heroes; ruthless yet successful businessmen and politicians. It may also be used as a self-help book by pragmatists who want to improve their lot through utilitarian & tangible means rather than falling for absurdly spiritual self-help stuff.
