The Art of War

ep1: winning before fighting

ep2: know yourself and your enemy

all warfare is deception

avoid strength, attack weakness

speed and timing beat brute force

choose the battlefield

the cost of prolonged conflict

supreme excellence is breaking resistance without fighting

make plans, then adapt

leadership through clarity and discipline

use spies and information networks

use terrain as strategy

formation and formlessness

energy from coordination

moral influence and shared purpose

use fire and timing together

desperate ground creates commitment

the five dangerous faults of a general

make defeat impossible first

manage morale through timing

turn distance into advantage

do not take the bait

act only when there is advantage

turn enemy resources into your own

use local knowledge before moving
