Conflict is an inevitable part of life, according to this ancient Chinese classic of strategy, but everything necessary to respond to conflict wisely, thoroughly, and victoriously is right before us at all times. The key to skillful action in any situation is in knowing those things that make up the environment and then seeing the patterns they form so that their power becomes available to us. It is not necessary to change the nature of things to find victory. Since, as Sun Tzu teaches, aggression and response in kind can lead only to destruction, we must learn to work with conflict in a more profound and effective way. The Art of War shows us how. The Art of War gives us proven strategic skills to apply when we need to take action and overcome obstacles in rapidly changing, chaotic situations. Though ancient in origin, these strategies are accessible because they are based on the ways we already do things. As Sun Tzu shows, rather than getting mired in conflict, we can create momentum and bring about the tipping point to achieve success.

«Existem cinco factores que permitem que se preveja qual dos oponentes sairá vencedor: Aquele que sabe quando deve ou não lutar; Aquele que sabe como adoptar a arte militar apropriada de acordo com a superioridade ou inferioridade de suas forças frente ao inimigo; Aquele que sabe como manter seus superiores e subordinados unidos de acordo com suas propostas; Aquele que está bem preparado e enfrenta um inimigo desprevenido; Aquele que é um general sábio e capaz, em cujas decisões o soberano não interfere.»
