About this listen

The Complete Strategy Collection, a compilation of ancient and historical philosophies, will increase your knowledge of strategy, conflict, and adversity throughout the ages, giving you valuable insight into the past while opening a window to the future. Although each of the works can be considered a manual or diagram for war or engaging in physical combat, the life skills embodied in each can be adapted to everyday life in modern society.

  • In story one, The Art of War, Sun Tzu defines strategies to overcome your opponent.
  • Story two, The Prince, offers practical solutions to some of life’s most common problems based on moral and ethical values.
  • The Book of Five Rings (story three) applies strategies used in physical encounters to business, relationships, and de-escalation of conflicts.
  • The ideologies of war and military strategy in Story Four, On War, clearly depict how motivations influence outcomes.
  • Arthashastra, the final story, brings the philosophical strategies to the forefront and lays the foundation for current policies, systems, and attitudes.

As you listen on, you will be enthralled by the complexity of strategies and how useful these strategies are to modern culture, government, and military strategy. You will gain the knowledge to guide you in your everyday activities to help you beat out your opponents, position yourself for success, avoid conflict, and overcome adversity. You will see how these classic writings have been used throughout history by warriors, kings, diplomats, and businessmen to give them opportunities otherwise deemed impossible.

Listen on, and learn how you, too, can take advantage of the strategies of war.

Everyone has heard of these titles, but has anyone listened to any of them? Now is your chance. Well done by the narrators and producers to put these titles back to back to back to back..... to back.

Great Job.

A must for strategy lovers

Having read most of these books in print, it was a delight to listen to them.
The excellent narration adds to the wealth of knowledge, particularly from Sun Tzu.
Each story offers a view of strategy and is a diverse collection for sure.
It is well worth listening to.

Timeless Strategies for Modern Success

This audiobook has profoundly transformed my perspective on how ancient philosophies can be applied to our modern lives. Each selection provoked deep reflection, prompting me to think critically about managing conflict, building relationships, and pursuing success with a clear purpose. The Book of Five Rings stood out to me, offering invaluable strategies that enabled me to navigate workplace challenges with a composed and tactical approach. The rich array of viewpoints—from the precision of Sun Tzu to the philosophical insights of Arthashastra—has deepened my admiration for strategic thinking. Far beyond mere discussions of warfare, this audiobook serves as a comprehensive toolkit for overcoming adversity and excelling in the complexities of today’s world.

Strategic insights… until…

Whoever decided to tag the Arthashatra on at the end…
A good progression had been built and culminated with On War - Then a whole mess of contradictions and magic gets dropped on the listener…

Art of war and so much more

If this book just had art of war, it would be worth it. That book is a classic, and so are all the other books that teach you about strategy, and everything relating to that topic!
