Excellent Materials

This is a very good book on strategy and strategic thinking. Uses very good historical examples to visualize the concept. The ideas and concepts can be used in both personal and business settings. Not all concepts are applicable for everyone, but in general will help you build a broader understanding about strategy and strategic decision making. I would rank this in the top 10 books for strategy. Other titles to consider are

Good Strategy Bad Strategy by Richard Rumelt
Understanding Michael Porter by Joan Magretta
Strategic Thinking Skills by The Great Courses narrated by Stanley Ridgley
Blue Ocean Strategy by W. Chan Kim and Renee Mauborgne
The Innovators Solution by Clayton M. Christensen and Michael Raynor
Seeing What's Next by Clayton M. Christensen and Scott D. Anthony

Just to name a few.

Not as Good as Previous Work

If you like Robert Greene you really wont need to buy this audio book. Just buy 48 laws of Power and Art of seduction. This book just seemed like a bootleg version of the 48 laws of power. It had some good moments but alot of useless war references that dont seem pratical for every day life.

A MUST HAVE!!!

For anyone who wants to be more mentally (and psychologically) competitive. This give you the roots of "all" psychological warfare. Regardless of whether you're a student, or out in the workforce - THIS BOOK WILL TAKE YOU TO THE NEXT LEVEL THAT "YOU" WANT TO BE AT.

He was perfect, I liked the intensity. I like to visualize while I listen to books and he was one of the best for providing strong emotion.

Better Book Than Audiobook

Would you consider the audio edition of The 33 Strategies of War to be better than the print version?

No. I listened to the audiobook and I just finished the print version. The print/kindle version is superior. I found myself losing interest quickly in the audiobook, party due to the overly dramatic narration.

Any additional comments?

Great book, but a much better read than audiobook. The 50th Law, narrated by Robert Greene himself is a much more engaging listen with similar stories and themes.

Fantastic All Around.

Understanding strategy is paramount to life. The 33 Strategies of War is a terrific conveyor of the medium of war that elicits varying modus operandi in humankind. As always, Robert Greene's research is incredible, and his telling of accounts and anecdotes is supreme, conveying the psychology happening throughout historical wars and related happenings. The narrator is the perfect voice for this book, and all Robert Greene books. The 33 Strategies of War Audible is a must-have.

Good

The narration was good as learning strategies was nice. The only reason i did not give it all 5 stars, was due to how many strategies were manipulating.
