Summary

Sun Tzu's "The Art of War" stands as a seminal text in the study of strategy and military philosophy, intricately weaving profound insights into human nature, conflict, and leadership. Composed in the 6th century BCE, this ancient treatise is characterized by its concise and aphoristic style, utilizing parables and historical anecdotes that are as applicable today as they were in the era of warring states. The book is structured around core themes such as the importance of adaptability, the necessity of knowing oneself and one's enemy, and the ultimate aim of achieving victory with minimal conflict, reflecting its foundational role in both Eastern and Western strategic thought. Sun Tzu, a military strategist and philosopher, structured his writing from practical military experiences, which inform his deeply pragmatic approach to warfare. His emphasis on intelligence, discipline, and foresight reveals a profound understanding of psychological and social dynamics, likely influenced by the chaotic political environment of his time. The text not only serves as a guide for military leaders but also speaks to broader audiences about the timeless principles of leadership and decision-making. "The Art of War" is essential reading for anyone interested in strategy, be it in military, business, or personal development realms. Its enduring relevance and wisdom offer invaluable perspectives on conflict resolution and competitive advantage, asserting that true mastery lies not in brute force but in nuanced understanding and strategy.

    Due to the changing winds of fate, my sister Marty needed to take a job selling vacation timeshares in Las Vegas. Many, if not most, take the tour just for the offered goodies; it was an awfully harsh environment to learn in. We talked about relationship-based selling, how to do trial closes, and how to ask closing questions, all of which are written down here in Make. It. Rain. I recommended she get a few books on the subject. About a week later, we talked again, she said she had bought and read some books about selling but that she would rather eat dirt than have to read any more bullet points.Since I started my love affair with selling at the early age of 15, I had a fondness for the subject that was easy for me to talk about, to tell stories about. She planted the seed for this book a great many years ago now. In my time working for Dale Carnegie Training, I came to deeply understand that telling and listening to stories is where real learning takes place. So, I set about writing a story-form sales training book that was built on the values learned working in a family business in a very small town. I have always enjoyed the art of selling, the people I have met, and the lives I have enriched by making damn sure the people got what they need, not what I needed them to have!
