We live in a vicious, highly competitive workplace environment, and things aren't getting any better. Jobs are few and far between, and people aren't any nicer now than they were when Ghengis Khan ran around in big furs killing people in unfriendly acquisitions. For thousands of years, people have been reading the writings of the deeply wise, but also extremely dead Chinese philosopher Sun Tzu, who was perhaps the first to look on the waging of war as a strategic art that could be taught to people who wished to be warlords and other kinds of senior managers. In a nutshell, Sun Tzu taught that readiness is all, that knowledge of oneself and the enemy was the foundation of strength and that those who fight best are those who are prepared and wise enough not to fight at all. Unfortunately, in the current day, this approach is pretty much horse hockey, a fact that has not been recognized by the bloated, tree-hugging Sun Tzu industry, which churns out mushy-gushy pseudo-philosophy for business school types who want to make war and keep their hands clean. Sun Tzu was a Sissy will transcend all those efforts and teach the reader how to make war, win and enjoy the plunder in the real world, where those who do not kick, gouge and grab are left behind at the table to pay the tab. Students of Bing will be taught how to plan and execute battles that hurt other people a lot, and advance their flags and those of their friends, if possible. All military strategies will be explored, from mustering, equipping, organizing, plotting, scheming, rampaging, squashing and reaping spoils. Every other book on the Art of War bows low to Sun Tzu. We're going to tell him to get lost and inform our readers how real war is currently conducted on the battlefield of life.… (mehr)

Bitter and biting, this indictment of corporate dealings zig-zags from wry to deadly serious to cheap-shots with examples real and legendary. Published in 2004, proto-45 is more frequently mentioned than Warren Buffet. Full of awful Tzutsy Tzuff, ending on tzissy wistful note. ( )

Review: Sue Tzu Was A Sissy by Stanley Bing.

I guess this book could be taken as humorous or appalling or perhaps a little of both. Bing uses the business sector as his prodigy messenger to unleash his comments and opinions into a military style context. I know it’s supposed to be humorous and a lot of it was but was it done properly. There were chapters on the adversarial qualities of short and tall people and fat and skinny people among other issues although like all humor, someone somewhere will take offence. I’m one who doesn’t take offence but you never know….

Stanley Bing supplied plenty of puns and dark humor scattered throughout the book. I believe anyone taking this book, attempting to use some of the context for strategy in their business might want to think twice. If you have acquaintances and happy co-workers you might have just shone them the door…..

I feel this book was written for the intent of pleasure and some serious fun poked at modern business methods with an occasional jab by a justified prod straight to anyone who’s trying to achieve climbing the ladder to the top. I guess anyone can say it was written in a moment of harmony to be read by all walks of adventure….. Life is a battle…..

Mr. Bing recommends treating work as warfare and defines winning as ''taking more'' and ''beating the other guy, in public if possible.''
