“The 33 Strategies of War Summary”

Army and corporate strategists agree upon one thing in particular.

If an individual or business cannot confront extreme behavior, they

will always find themselves one step behind.

The whole society is facing one strange but unique vocabulary issue
where the vast majority of the population thinks that the words
tactically and strategically are synonyms and there is no significant
difference between them- at all.

This theory is 100% false, for a person to understand the world’s

most renowned conquerors; it must separate these two at once, and
prefer the strategic thinkingapproach towards in-life situations.

Where does “The 33 Strategies of War” fit in all this?

Robert Greene’s exceptional book is not just helpful and supportive

in developing a unique person’s perspective on how things used to
be, but also intrigues you as a reader in a way that you’d be probably
asking yourself – What would I do if I’ve faced the same
circumstances as a Ruler?
If a person declares that he/she falls into a history expert category,
that doesn’t qualify them as knowledgeable individuals that would
readily understand the world’s most famous and renowned military
strategist and conquerors.

It takes courage, in-depth and unbiased approach so that you can at

least try and be able to look from: Napoleon Bonaparte, Sun-
Tzu, Julius Caesar, Alexander III of Macedon, Genghis Khan, Carl von
Clausewitz, Suleiman the Magnificent, Erwin Rommel, Hannibal’s
perspective.

Do not be fooled by its title.

Many ignorant readers would say: In the 21st century you don’t need
an old war book; we live in different times now!

First of all, this is not a war book.

The 33 Strategies of War as one remarkable writing is an all-around

book, which challenges all aspects of life.

Greene explains the same issues that a person would experience in

his daily job (perhaps without any swords), so a strategic way of
thinking was helpful back then, it is helpful now, and it will be helpful
in the future.

Key Lessons from “The 33 Strategies of War”

1. The highly effective- Polarity Strategy
2. The Guerilla WarMachine and their Strategy
3. The Counterbalance and Total Mind Control Strategy

“The highly effective-Polarity Strategy”

We can recall a situation, back in the days former Britain’s Prime
Minister, Margaret Thatcher deliberately criticized her Labour party
members. This unpleasant case led to a polarized electorate, that
spontaneously created a cult for her.
Now we must analyze, why was this strategy so successful?- As a
consequence of this approach, Thatcher created an image of a strong
and independent leader that would lead Britain to prosperity.

So you should ask yourself are you ready for a battle? Are you
prepared to step out of your comfort zone? If so, stand up for
yourself and get what you’re worth.

“The Guerrilla-WarMachine-and-their- Strategy”

Greene clarifies that the people’s beliefs and assumptions are
shaped by their parents, media, education and so many other
aspects and cultural behaviors.

For a person to understand the foundation of any guerilla strategy,

he/she must place itself “in front of a mirror” and see the world from
an unbiased and impartial perspective.

If you’re too attached to the past, you’ll not be able to look at the
possibilities that the future unfolds, live here and now and act
strategically.

“The Counterbalance and Total Mind control Strategy”

Humans have one exceptional gift, the gift of mind, the gift of
making rational decisions.

The real question is: How we as humans would have coped with the
difficulties that life continually throws at us if we aren’t able to use
the mind’s capabilities to counter all these treats and issues?

For instance: You surely remember the well-known and famous film
director and producer Alfred Hitchcock.

Everyone who worked with him was amazed by Hitchcock’s calm

nature, and they were wondering:

How in the hell after all these years and struggles, he yet remains
perfectly composed and happy on every movie set? The answer is –
total mind control and in advance strategic thinking.

“The 33 Strategies of War” Quotes

Do not fight them. Instead, think of them the way you think of
children, or pets, not important enough to affect your mental
balance.

Events in life mean nothing if you do not deeply reflect on them,

and ideas from books are pointless if they have no application
to life as you live it.
Actually, your past successes are your biggest obstacle: every
battle, every war, is different, and you cannot assume that what
worked before will work today.

It is your bad strategies, not the unfair opponent, that are to

blame for your failures. You are responsible for the good and
bad in your life.

You may think that what you’d like to recapture from your youth
is your looks, your physical fitness, your simple pleasures, but
what you really need is the fluidity of mind you once possessed

especially from their military careers but also from their businesses,

concepts on how these war chiefs should and used to behave.
