It is a wonderful work: you can use it as a fortune telling game or as a great book on the philosophy of life; either is enjoyable. I stopped using it as a fortune telling tool in the 1970s and now just enjoy reading it.

I have not got the chance to dive in to it yet because I am reading another translation of Sun Tzu's "Art of War" currently. Have you read this book yet? I can recommend a good translation as this is my third translation of this amazing book.

Modern people even apply these strategies in doing business and they have been proved working very well. And I heard that the Art of War has been introduced to Westpoint as teaching materials. Is this true?

Hi Kevin,

Many business majors read this book as part of the curriculum based on which professor they choose. There is no doubt that the tricks and strategies in this book are useful in any application in life but I cannot assure you that they use this book at Westpoint academy.

The only book that I know of that is strictly enforced by a government agency on its employee's is a book named "The 9 habits of highly effective people" by Stephen Covey that is part of training for Home Land Security.
