Sun Tzu's Warrior's Rules -- for Winning Productively

Ordinary people see successful people as gifted, special, and different, but successful people are ordinary people who saw an opportunity and acted on it correctly. We cannot predict or plan the path that we will be given, but we can know the skills it takes to see opportunities and pursue them profitably.

Putting Your Unconscious Mind to Work

At first, we use Sun Tzu's system consciously. However, by studying and practicing these methods consciously, we reprogram our minds 6.1.1 Conditioned Reflexes. Like learning to type, at first, we have to "hunt and peck" through the rules of Sun Tzu's strategy using analysis tools. Over time, our habits take over as a reflex. When trained, our unconscious mind makes the right decisions effortless, improving our position every day. Learn more about these stages of learning here.

Special Decision Making Abilities

The decision-matrix used by Sun Tzu's system requires the parallel processing capabilities of your brain to cut through the complexities of a situation in a flash. Once mastered, this is called "thin-slicing." When you develop this ability, you gain three specific powers: 1) a finely tuned sense of position awareness, 2) the ability to see invisible opportunities that most people miss, and 3) the skill of picking the exact right response for a given situation. More about those three skills here.

A New Kind of Creativity

The more of Sun Tzu's strategy you know, the more creative you become. The path from where you are to your goals is unique. Seeing that path requires a different form of creativity. When you are trained, you develop a heightened sensitivity to the openings around you. You are find creative ways to move into those openings. Like a puzzle master, you learn how to rearrange your existing knowledge into new, more powerful forms that are both valuable and practical. Your constant stream of new ideas and perspectives unlocks entire new worlds of opportunity. More about this special kind of creativity here.

The Science Behind Sun Tzu

This all sounds pretty fantastic. How can you know that these ideas really work? How can a 2,500 year-old thesis on competition offer all these benefits? The latest scientific research explains how Sun Tzu's system works. A little thinking about linear planning and its limits explains the rest. More about the science and logic of Sun Tzu here.
