About this listen

The Complete Strategy Collection, a compilation of ancient and historical philosophies, will increase your knowledge of strategy, conflict, and adversity throughout the ages, giving you valuable insight into the past while opening a window to the future. Although each of the works can be considered a manual or diagram for war or engaging in physical combat, the life skills embodied in each can be adapted to everyday life in modern society.

  • In story one, The Art of War, Sun Tzu defines strategies to overcome your opponent.
  • Story two, The Prince, offers practical solutions to some of life’s most common problems based on moral and ethical values.
  • The Book of Five Rings (story three) applies strategies used in physical encounters to business, relationships, and de-escalation of conflicts.
  • The ideologies of war and military strategy in Story Four, On War, clearly depict how motivations influence outcomes.
  • Arthashastra, the final story, brings the philosophical strategies to the forefront and lays the foundation for current policies, systems, and attitudes.

As you listen on, you will be enthralled by the complexity of strategies and how useful these strategies are to modern culture, government, and military strategy. You will gain the knowledge to guide you in your everyday activities to help you beat out your opponents, position yourself for success, avoid conflict, and overcome adversity. You will see how these classic writings have been used throughout history by warriors, kings, diplomats, and businessmen to give them opportunities otherwise deemed impossible.

Listen on, and learn how you, too, can take advantage of the strategies of war.

The art of war is a good translation and read very well, as is the prince and the book of 5 rings. On war however is badly performed it feels rushed with emphasis put on the wrong words as if the performer is just reading the words and has no interest in what he is reading, making it a difficult listen.

Very good but…

This audiobook is a challenge. It includes several classics of warfare and is therefore very comprehensive. Even though this is historical literature, the subject matter is topical. Apart from the recipes for seeing in the dark or making yourself invisible, the strategic principles are applicable to many areas of modern life. The speakers are consistently professional and make it easy to stay with it. Certainly not something to listen to for 53 hours in a row, but also a great offer in terms of price for any listener who wants to take a serious look at the subject of strategy.

This audiobook has profoundly transformed my perspective on how ancient philosophies can be applied to our modern lives. Each selection provoked deep reflection, prompting me to think critically about managing conflict, building relationships, and pursuing success with a clear purpose. The Book of Five Rings stood out to me, offering invaluable strategies that enabled me to navigate workplace challenges with a composed and tactical approach. The rich array of viewpoints—from the precision of Sun Tzu to the philosophical insights of Arthashastra—has deepened my admiration for strategic thinking. Far beyond mere discussions of warfare, this audiobook serves as a comprehensive toolkit for overcoming adversity and excelling in the complexities of today’s world.
