panThis book is way too long (23 hrs audio) and the extensive historical contexts are unnecessary to me. I would like to hear a more succinct version where I could focus more on the actual “laws”. The book also has a very spiteful theme, as if everyone is out to get others in their pursuits for power, however, it did give me perspective of how some may think. If I hadn‘t put this on audio for my commute to work book, I never would have finished it.
“Never Outshine The Master”
This really guided me during my service years. I‘m grateful for that book.
I follow Lauren Grubaugh Thomas‘ Substack, A Soulful Revolution, and today‘s piece was hopeful and encouraging to me, as I feel somewhat at a loss over effective action in the face of current events. I‘ll link her piece below. She highlighted the tagged book and an upcoming series of online book discussions, if anyone‘s interested in joining in. I just put the book on hold at the library!

Hence it is only the enlightened ruler and the wise general who will use the highest intelligence of the army for purposes of spying and thereby they achieve great results. Spies are a most important element in war, because on them depends an army‘s ability to move.
