Summary

A hilarious and tough-minded guide to winning the war of contemporary life.  
The Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu taught that readiness is all, that knowledge of oneself and the enemy was the foundation of strength, and that those who fight best are those who are prepared and wise enough not to fight at all. Unfortunately, in the current day, this approach is pretty much horse hockey. 
 Sun Tzu was a Sissy will transcend all those efforts and teach the reader how to make war, win, and enjoy the plunder in the real world, where those who do not kick, gouge, and grab are left behind at the table to pay the tab. Students of Bing will be taught how to plan and execute battles that hurt other people a lot, and advance their flags and those of their friends.

    "It’s natural to want to do well - at work, in study, in life, to do our best. But what happens when striving for the best becomes something more ... the pursuit of perfection?  Perfectionism is on the rise and it has dire consequences for how we think and feel about ourselves and others, how we think, live, and work. Perfectionism has been seen to cause over-thinking, over-working, burnout, sleeplessness, and mental health problems like depression and anxiety.  We can’t keep going like this! But what’s the alternative if it’s not perfect? Lynne Cazaly uncovers how to think, work and achieve in clever ways adapted from the productive and creative worlds of software development … and improvisation.  How do they get things done? How do they put their ideas out there? And what can we learn from them?  In ‘ish’, Lynne Cazaly explains:The problem with pursuing perfection … and why we seek itThe mental loop that traps you into thinking perfection is the answerThe role of incremental work, imperfection and iteration in getting things doneThe idea of ‘ish’ - which means somewhat, near enough - and how to apply it to your life 9 ways to think and work on projects, tasks or activities that provide a healthy and productive alternative to perfectionism. Excellence, quality and continuous improvement are important. But the pursuit of perfection … not so much.  Here’s a helpful alternative that guides you to making great progress and achieving what you want in life.  "

    The 52-Week Low Formula is all about looking at companies to  invest in and asking the following questions:    Do they have a durable competitive advantage? Are the kind of  company that is hard to compete with either because they have  cornered a difficult market or because competing with them would  require an unreasonably high investment by others?  What is the purchase value of the company? If someone were to  come in and buy everything, would they inherit debt greater than  revenue? And, if you were to buy the company, would it be worth it?  Would you make more money that you would simply investing in  10-year Treasury bonds?  Whats the Return on Invested Capital of the company? Is  it using its money well to create returns or is it taking on bad  investments that dont pay off?  Can it pay its debt off quickly? There are a lot of companies  out there that are making a lot of money, but can they, should all  revenue activities cease and all debt come due, remain in the  black?  Finally, is it trading lower than it has in a year?    The 52-Week Low formula is based on the idea that even the best  companies go through a skid, a downturn in stock value. If a  company answers the above four questions well, you want to know if  its going through a rough patch. This is the filter that  requires discipline because common investors often overlook good  companies when they are on the skids. But good companies always  find a way to come back. Thats what makes them good  companies, what makes them the right companies to invest in, what  makes investing in them worthwhile.  In this book, readers will:    examine the principles that go into selecting the 25 companies  Wiley invests in every six months  what he looks for, what  requirements he has and how those came to be.  examine case studies of companies that have proven time and  again that they can overcome obstacles and provide consistent  growth for the long-term.  show the results of a disciplined approach to investing over an  emotional one and the mistakes investors make when they invest out  of fear instead of a solid strategic approach.  cover the evolution of the 52-Week Low, how the philosophy  developed and became strategy and pitfalls hes experienced  along the way.
