The Art of War by Sun TzuMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
A timeless classic that proves great strategy doesn’t expire even after 2,000+ years. This isn’t just a war manual; it’s a blueprint for life, business, and outsmarting your own impulses. Sun Tzu’s lessons on strategy, timing, and valuing information over rash action hit harder than a surprise ambush. My favorite takeaway? Sometimes the sharpest victory is knowing when not to fight at all and honestly, that alone earns this book a solid 5 stars.
