Hidden Dragon
The Thirty-Six Stratagems of War
Power that is felt, but never seen, is the most dangerous kind.
The 36 Stratagems were ancient Chinese warfare tactics that helped to build empires.
These methods were so powerful that a later emperor banned its history books, fearing their corrupting influence.
Hidden Dragon breaks down each stratagem and shows you how to apply them in your life.
Here’s what you’ll learn:
- How to make opponents drop their guard by appearing weak
- Ways to gather intelligence while seeming harmless
- Methods to influence others through controlled chaos
- Techniques to turn your enemy’s strengths into weaknesses
- Strategies to create opportunities from apparent disadvantages
- Tactics to sow discord in enemy ranks without detection
- Systems to build hidden influence networks
- Approaches to manipulate perception without raising suspicion
- Ways to exploit human nature and psychological blind spots
- Methods to win without appearing to fight
But just to be clear: this isn’t a book about fighting fair.
These are the methods of spies, assassins, and shadow warriors. They involve deception, manipulation, and psychological warfare.
If you’re looking for conventional warfare tactics or honorable combat techniques, this isn’t the book for you.
But if you want to understand how real power operates – the kind that moves invisibly through systems and structures – then Hidden Dragon will show you the way.
These strategies have survived for centuries because they work. They’ve been used by military commanders, business leaders, and politicians throughout history. Now these ancient secrets can work for you.
Hidden Dragon includes:
- The psychology behind each stratagem
- When and how to deploy these tactics
- Common pitfalls and how to avoid them
- Ways to combine multiple strategies
- Defense against these techniques
- Long-term implications of using deception
Hidden Dragon teaches you to be the unseen force that shapes events from the shadows. To win without fighting. To defeat enemies who don’t even know they’re in a battle.
The principles in this book are powerful. They can help you achieve your goals, but they can also corrupt. Use them wisely.
