Crazy Bosses and Sun Tzu CD

by Stanley Bing

The ancient Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu taught that readiness is all, that knowledge of oneself and the enemy is the foundation of strength, and that those who fight best are those wise enough not to fight at all. These people were revered and known as "warrior-sages." Now, we refer to them as "suckers." Sun Tzu Was a Sissy teaches you how to wage war, win, and enjoy the plunder in the real world. Students of Master Stanley Bing will learn how to plan and execute battles that hurt other people a lot and advance their flags and those of their friends. Every other book on the "Art of War" bows low to Sun Tzu. This one tells him to get lost.

5 pages, Audio CD

Reviews

An insight into bosses and how crazy things can get. Interesting ride.

[Erika · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is the only version of this book I can get Goodreads to pull up. I read the book-book version of Crazy Bosses- so please ignore the audio cd and Sun Tzu.

Bing is very entertaining and has a great writing style. He almost has me convinced I want to be crazy.

Almost as good as "what would Machiavelli do?"
