Features: This book discusses the strategies of understanding people, judging situations, and taking action--the strategies that enable one to achieve success and perfection in the world. The entire book consists of 300 aphorisms, which are exquisitely crafted and must be shared and appreciated with friends and colleagues, yet sharp and incisive enough to keep enemies and rivals in the dark. The ideal readers of this book are those who must navigate daily affairs and deal with others--they must discern others' intentions, win their favor and friendship, or counter their schemes and render others' wills ineffective. Like all aphorisms, the way to read this book is to savor it slowly, a little at a time, to fully appreciate its essence.
