BOOK REVIEW: “SUN TZU’S ART OF WAR UNVEILED”
“Over 2500 years ago the great Chinese military strategist Sun Tzu handed down to posterity his inimitable treatise ‘The Art of War.’
Among his many pearls of wisdom, is how one could successfully defeat an adversary with the inherent power of one’s mind. Down the years his thoughts continue to inspire and just as much mystify the world.
Geneviève Tan Shu Thung, a mindful seeker in her own right, takes a bold ‘ fourth dimensional’ approach in this book to shed insightful light in elaborating some of the salient yet elusive gems found in that timeless classic. In lucid terms with scholarly presentation Geneviève explains how Sun Tzu’s strategic philosophy has become increasingly pertinent to modern times.
Her unique prose delivered succinctly in a compelling style helps the reader to comprehend and appreciate the very thoughts of Sun Tzu in a meaningful manner. She provides a gentle interpretation of the esoteric concepts envisaged by the illustrious sage. As she unveils the true aspects of the soul-searching masterpiece of Sun Tzu one fails not to see how the original strategy meant to gain victory on the battlefield could transcend into a win-win fait accompli for anyone living in contemporary times.
Whether it is a corporate warrior or a harried housewife, Genevieve’s book shows the way to a panacea that is already within one’s Mind’s Eye.”
