The Rules of Victory

Based on the ancient Chinese primer by Sun Tzu, THE ART OF WAR, this audio has a surprisingly broad reach. The authors show how conflicts can be resolved through both self-awareness and empathy for each participant's position. The authors also recommend integrating one's core values with one's routines and situational behavior. This deeply grounded writing and the satisfying voice of principal author Gimian, who does most of the narrating, compel reflection on basic human challenges like maintaining a good reputation, self-determination, altruism, and leadership. Commitment to this wisdom is obvious in Gimian's voice. His vocal style helps keep central the message that both the annoyances and heartaches of close relationships can be transcended when the focus is on embracing each person's reality. T.W.
