• A Good Book
  This is a good book, but shouldn't be used as a substitute for reading The Art of War. I recommend reading both Sun Tzu For Success and The Art of War in order to get the most from Michaelson's book. This book takes The Art of War and makes it applicable to the business world and your personal life. It has a lot of practical insights and strategies for the average person that can improve your life. It is worth reading and I can see business people really enjoying what this book has to offer.

• useful text
  The text is useful for insights. I prefer the newer editions of this classic by other authors for insight, however.

• Some interesting strategy, and unfortunately a reality.
  The basic premise of the book follows ancient Eastern war tactics dating to 500 BC. A few of these are: "know yourself and your enemy", "plan surprise", and "win without fighting". The book describes various tactics of war that will help an army be successful.

  These tactics are then related to modern business. What is unfortunate is that these tactics are needed at all. Instead of cooperation, and mutual respect, business climates are often hostile and overly competitive - within the organization itself!... more info

• Not too original
  This book is concise and well worth its cheap price. It provides some of Sun Tzu's most thought provoking text and adds the author's analysis. There has been literally hundreds of books related to Sun Tzu's writing and none of the ideas presented in this book are new. The real value of this book comes from the author's selective analysis of some of Sun Tzu's best lines.
