5 lessons from the art of war (every man must know)

[@theironlapel]

I was in the US Marines and this was one of the book on the commandants reading list. It was one of the first books I read as a junior marine and it taught me a lot about life and how to use strategy to navigate it. Great video!

Hello James, you are doing an excellent job with your channel, I have seen many of your videos and I have started to wear a suit and follow your advice and the result has been incredible, keep it up brother, greetings from a Cuban gentleman😊

preparation is indeed the key to success. Chances that you don't anticipate will KILL you.

"A divided enemy is easier to conquer"; Sadly, many have forgotten this.

If you know yourself and you know your enemy, you will win every battle, If you know yourself but not yor enemy for every battle you win you will lose one, If you do not know yourself and not know your enemy you will lose every battle

Timing is everything, very important

[@edwardloomis887]

I was surprised when my pre-teen son asked me for "The Art of War," a book I have internalized for decades. Given our KZbin advocate is James, it is interesting one copy I retain was published by James Clavell, author of Taipan, Noble House and Shogun.

Great video Gent Z. I would love to see a Theodore Roosevelt video from you. After all, he is the most manliest United States president.

[@Martin_Romanowski]

Great video as always...GOD BLESS

There are two things I always keep a copy of: Rio by Duran Duran and Sun Tzu's Art of War. I have the copy translated by Samuel B Griffith. "Seize the object of the enemies desire and he will conform to your wishes." I don't recall which chapter that is in, but it works wonders in the art of seduction. That is if you know what she wants. And application in this circumstance is pleasurable for both. The Art of War is my favorite book. I am surprised, pleasantly so, to see you make a video using the lessons from it. Excellent job, James.

@James, I recommend reading The Book of Five Rings written by the famous feudal Japanese swordsman Miyamoto Musashi. Many of his teachings and experiences can be apply to the modern man's daily life.

[@longboardinghhb]

[@aakashwealth]

you just kicked me off from skool comunity may i ask why ?

[@Unexpectedperspectivesnow]

If he promotes anything from Kyosaki im unsubbing.

[@RavenMacGowan]

The Art of War is overrated. Ironically, Sun Tzu never fought or won a war. The Book of Five Rings by Miyamoto Musashi is a much better book and even Bruce Lee stole ideas from it. In Japan, they print strategy versions of it for businessmen.

[@skylongskylong1982]

Hello Have you got a link to put in the comments ?

[@RicoGrande-qv4ex]

If so, the acme of skill is to win without fighting.

[@glebz7294]

Not all wars are fought in the field

[@RavenMacGowan]

@@glebz7294 I know. I mentioned the Book of Five Rings because it is a much better strategy book from a practical and real-world experience. The Art of War is read by Generals and Spies, but how well has that worked out?

[@thatguy6054]

It isn't possible to state with any historical accuracy that Sun Tzu never fought a war, simply because it is not known exactly who he was or when he lived or if he was even a single person or if his attributed works are the product of many people over many years. Ancient history is far too imprecise of an art. Likewise, while much is documented about Musashi's life, his record of combat is entirely one-on-one duels. There is no specific record that he commanded troops, only that he participated in battles under feudal lords. It isn't known what his function was under those lords. What can be seen are examples of the principles in both books played out in countless wars and battles fought over the centuries all over the world. In any case, neither book contradicts one another and there is considerable overlap. Both books are required reading for modern military strategists. Yes, The Art of War is read by generals, like MacArthur and Schwartzkopf. How did that work out?
