Art of War - by Mao Tze (written about 2000 years ago in CHina)
Read his teaching on military warfare, and you can see that it just doesnt regard military strategy, but daily life as well.
In some military academies, this book is required reading. |
I think you meant Sun Tzu... the only famous Mao Tze i know of is Mao Tze Tung... and he came a bit later in China's history. Not Strictly a philosophical text, The Art of War does give some great advice that's applicable to your daily dealings with people.
Another "way of the warrior" work worth checking out is Hagakure by Yaamoto Tsunetomo. It's pretty wacky... it ranges from the philosophical (Zen/Samurai musings), to the mundane (advice for daily life of a samurai - eg keep powdered rouge in your sleeve), to the grotesque (eg. Urinating on a face after cutting it lengthwise helps make it easier to remove the skin).
If you are interested in Eastern philosophy try the Taoist works such as the Tao Te Ching by Lao Tzu or some of Chuang Tse's works... But perhaps read The Tao of Pooh first to get an idea of what its all about
