Description
This guide fuses the wisdom of the East and West, exploring how ancient Asian battle strategies and cultural mindsets can be applied today to achieve mental toughness and winning business techniques. Drawn from a formula for mental toughness devised in a 1911 handbook for success called "Thick Black Theory," this book argues that there can be no real enlightenment without a full awareness of the dark side. To achieve success in professional and personal lives, one must "thicken" one's face to create a shield that preserves natural self-esteem and "blacken" one's heart. The result is a definition of the successful modern business hero as a person of unceasing contemplation and unfettered action. Going beyond Sun Tzu's "Art of War," this book shows readers how to find the inner warrior, conquer all in one's path, claim one's natural right to dazzling wealth, apply deception without sin to win the desired deal, dare to succeed by cultivating the courage to fail, unchain a killer instinct in the service of a life-affirming cause, and transform negative qualities to one's advantage. Chin-Ning Chu is the author of "The Asian Mind Game."
