Sun Tzu Was A Sissy: Conquer Your Enemies, Promote Your Friends, And Wag e The Real Art Of War by Stanley Bing

A hilarious and tough-minded guide to winning the war of contemporary life.

The Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu taught that readiness is all, that knowledge of oneself and the enemy was the foundation of strength, and that those who fight best are those who are prepared and wise enough not to fight at all. Unfortunately, in the current day, this approach is pretty much horse hockey.

Sun Tzu was a Sissy will transcend all those efforts and teach the reader how to make war, win, and enjoy the plunder in the real world, where those who do not kick, gouge, and grab are left behind at the table to pay the tab. Students of Bing will be taught how to plan and execute battles that hurt other people a lot, and advance their flags and those of their friends.

• Office Warfare: Learn to plan and execute battles in the toughest trench of all--the modern workplace. It's time to advance your flag and hurt other people a lot.
• Aggressive Strategy: Discover why Sun Tzu's passive approach is "horse hockey" and why a real warrior knows that kicking, gouging, and grabbing is the only way to win.
• Satirical Business Advice: A hilarious and tough-minded look at building armies, positioning for attack, and enjoying the plunder that other, more timid guides are afraid to talk about.
• Workplace Humor: With Stanley Bing's signature cynical wit, this is the one business book that admits what everyone's thinking: war is hell, but it can also be a hell of a lot of fun.
