Do you ever find yourself in a tricky conversation - words stuck, brain blank, wishing you had a secret playbook to help you steer things back on track?
Good news: ancient China already wrote one for you. And this book will show you how to use it today.
This is the second book in my Thirty-Six Stratagems series. The core idea is the same as the first volume - ancient Chinese strategies made useful for modern life - but this time, we're leaving the office battlefield behind and focusing entirely on the minefield of daily communication: friends, family, partners, kids, neighbors, even awkward small talk with strangers.
If you read the first book, you'll notice familiar themes - clarity, timing, adaptability - but applied in totally different ways. If this is your first encounter, don't worry: every book stands alone. In fact, practicing these stratagems across different situations is the key to truly mastering them. Context is everything.
💬 From Ancient Wars to Modern Words: Strategy with a Smile
Take Stratagem #10: Hide a knife behind a smile.
Sounds ominous, right? But think about the modern "sandwich method": praise, critique, praise. Same principle - a little sugar around the medicine can help tough conversations go down smoother.
That's the spirit of this book. It's not about manipulation. It's about being thoughtful, flexible, and just a little playful when communication gets hard.
📘 Inside you'll find:Clear, modern explanations of all 36 stratagemsReal-life communication scenarios to illustrate each oneThought prompts to help you practice - with friends, family, coworkers, or anyone you meetYou don't have to read cover to cover. Flip to any chapter that fits your current challenge - or, if you're feeling ambitious, master one stratagem a day for 36 days.
By the end, you'll think more strategically, communicate more smoothly, and maybe even have a little fun along the way.
Because while ancient generals used these ideas to win wars, you can use them to win something even better: better conversations, better connections... and fewer awkward silences.
