  The turmoil of the world we cannot avoid, but the disturbances of mind we can overcome. The duties and difficulties of life claim our attention, but we can rise above all anxiety concerning them. Surrounded by noise, we can yet have a quiet mind; involved in responsibilities, the heart can be at rest; in the midst of strife, we can know the abiding peace. The twenty pieces which comprise this book, unrelated as some of them are in the letter, will be found to be harmonious in the spirit, in that they point the reader towards those heights of self-knowledge and self-conquest which, rising above the turbulence of the world, lift their peaks where the Heavenly Silence reigns.

  Sun Tzŭ on The Art of War

  Sun Tzu

  Brought to you by Altrusian Grace Media and Narrated by Matthew Schmitz. 
  Few works in human history have shaped the course of warfare, strategy, and leadership as profoundly as The Art of War by Sun Tzu. Written over 2,500 years ago during China’s Warring States period, this timeless treatise transcends its origins as a military manual, offering wisdom that applies not only to warfare but to politics, business, diplomacy, and personal growth. 
  At its core, The Art of War is a philosophy of strategy—one that emphasizes intelligence, adaptability, and the mastery of conflict through knowledge rather than brute force. Sun Tzu teaches that victory is not won by strength alone, but by the ability to anticipate, deceive, and maneuver with precision. His principles—such as knowing when to engage, when to retreat, and how to use terrain, morale, and deception to one’s advantage—have been studied by generals, statesmen, and leaders across cultures and eras. 
  Beyond the battlefield, Sun Tzu’s insights resonate in today’s world of business, competition, and negotiation. His maxims on leadership, preparation, and calculated decision-making remain as relevant in the boardroom as they were in the war camps of ancient China. The idea that “the supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting” reflects the wisdom of those who understand that true power lies in the mind rather than in force. 
  Yet, The Art of War is not merely a book of tactics; it is a study of human nature. Sun Tzu recognized that success comes from understanding people—their fears, ambitions, and motivations. His principles teach us that strategy is not just about defeating an opponent but about creating conditions where conflict can be avoided altogether. 
  May this work serve as a beacon of strategic wisdom, reminding us that the greatest victories are those won with knowledge, patience, and foresight.

   “A powerful, game-changing book. Tom's approach is changing lives.” 
  — Seth Godin, Author of This is Marketing 
    
  Discover how supporting employment for people with autism unlocked new ways of running a business—and revealed transformative lessons for all of us. 
  Rising Tide Car Wash in Parkland, Florida, isn’t average in any way. When Tom D’Eri and his father John bought the location in 2013, they wanted to create employment opportunities for workers with autism. Like 1 in 54 Americans, Tom’s brother Andrew has autism, and he was facing lifelong unemployment. So the family set out on a mission to provide professional opportunities for people like Andrew, starting with one car wash. Now it’s one of the highest-volume washes in Florida. Its employee retention rate is five times that of its competitors. It has spun off into two additional locations that have been immediately successful, and the business is absurdly profitable. 
  The Power of Potential tells the inspiring, surprising reason why: The wash’s excellence isn’t in spite of their unusual workforce, but because of it. Thanks to their neurodivergent staff, the Rising Tide team was able to discover and correct common problems that typically fly under the radar in businesses, including:You hire based on interviewsYou think great talent is the secret to a great businessYour managers are “good enough”You fire your worst employees 
  By spotting and correcting these hidden problems, any business—with any kind of workers—can achieve unexpected wins and leave average behind. At Rising Tide, solving these problems resulted in four unexpected wins that added up to a culture of excellence:Every employee felt safeAccountability became a tool for growthEveryone’s work gave them a sense of purposeCustomers loved their experience
