Description
Beyond the Battleground draws insights from classical military strategy, the Yijing, and Chinese martial arts theory and presents a way of managing crisis situations in all aspects of life. Presents methods of adapting to circumstances, conserving one's own resources, and avoiding or dissolving conflict. Beyond the Battleground is an engaging meditation on the application of strategy to all facets of human interaction. Of equal interest to the business person, military theorist, martial artist, or anyone navigating the uncertainties of the changing world. How does one adapt to a constantly changing world in order to achieve success and experience personal growth Beyond the Battleground takes a unique approach to answering this important question by examining parallel lines of thought from classical military strategy, the Yijing (Book of Changes) and Chinese martial arts. To this end, the book explores examples of successful strategies from history's great commanders like Sunzi, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, and Mao Zedong, examines Yijing theory and its relevance to military strategy and the martial arts, and goes on to show the reader how to cultivate a strategic mind-set that can be applied to one's relationships, work, and personal self-fulfillment.
