The 33 Strategies of War

Don Leslie

Robert Greene

This book is a contemporary companion to Sun-tzu's 'The Art of War'. It synthesizes strategies from various political, philosophical, and religious texts across world civilizations and thousands of years of conflict. Each chapter outlines an approach to help readers win their life's wars, using illustrative examples from history, such as Lyndon Johnson, Julius Caesar, and Margaret Thatcher. The book provides psychological ammunition to overcome patterns of failure and gain the upper hand in various situations.

On love

Stendhal

In 'On Love,' Stendhal provides a detailed analysis of the complexities of romantic love. He categorizes love into four main types: physical love, love as a social game, vanity love, and passion love, with a particular focus on the latter. Stendhal outlines seven progressive stages of love, from admiration to 'crystallization,' a process where the lover attributes perfection to the beloved by layering observed traits with positive and often exaggerated qualities. This work is deeply personal, influenced by Stendhal's own experiences of unrequited love, and offers a blend of historical examples, personal anecdotes, and psychological insights into the nature of love.

Mastery

Robert Greene

In 'Mastery', Robert Greene argues that mastery is not an innate talent but a skill that can be developed through a rigorous process. The book outlines several key stages: finding your life's task, undergoing an ideal apprenticeship, finding the right mentor, acquiring social intelligence, and fusing intuitive with rational thinking. Greene draws on the lives of historical and contemporary masters such as Mozart, Einstein, and Temple Grandin to illustrate his points. He emphasizes the importance of deep practice, self-directed learning, and the ability to read and navigate social dynamics. The book challenges the conventional notion of genius as a genetic gift and offers practical steps for anyone to achieve mastery in their chosen field.
