The subtle arts of management and leadership have been developed over thousands of years by the Chinese. The Book of Leadership and Strategy represents the Taoist culmination of this long tradition and is one of the most prestigious works of ancient Chinese thought. Collected here are insightful teachings on the challenges of leadership on all levels, from organizational management to political statecraft. The translator, Thomas Cleary, has chosen and arranged these teachings to emphasize the most valuable lessons of Taoist wisdom for modern Western readers. Like Cleary's best-selling translation of The Art of War by Sun Tzu, this work will serve as an enlightening guide for people in business, politics, and government.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Thomas Cleary is the preeminent translator of classic Eastern texts, including The Essential Tao, The Essential Confucius, The Secret of the Golden Flower, and the bestselling The Art of War. Holds a PhD in East Asian Languages and Civilizations from Harvard University and a JD from the University of California, Berkeley, Boalt Hall School of Law. He is the translator of over fifty volumes of Buddhist, Taoist, Confucian, and Islamic texts from Sanskrit, Chinese, Japanese, Pali, and Arabic.

REVIEWS:

This Book is every bit as good as the Art of War by Thomas clearly. If you don't know what The Art of war is or sun tzu you better start there. They people character assessments are dead on in this book. Like some people are nice enough but steal. This I have found is so true with people who are very very nice but if given the chance they will steal. That is just one of many Assessments. Put this book together with The Art of War and your well on your way to being a great leader.
-John Rickett

This book is more philosophical than some others of similar titles and natures are. It views leadership and strategy through the lens of Taoist thinking, and as such is more concerned with the spiritual and ethical development of a leader. The book is broken into four sections: State and Society; Warfare; Peace; and Wisdom. Each is linked to the other, and follows the previous topic. There is a lot of discussion on the health of a given society, and how both the heads of a society as well as the people within it reflect and affect its overall health. There is a lot of focus on the causes and effects of warfare, as well as the ethics of waging war properly.


This is a small book, one that you can keep in your pocket or briefcase, perfect in size for reading on the train into work or while sitting in a doctor's office. It's full of essays that will make you think, and perhaps re-evaluate how you deal with certain situations in your life. It is worth buying, no question about that.

Delicious fresh Blueberries at a fraction of the price!
Size: 1 PT
Absolutely delicious, and so much less expensive than at the store!! Beautiful plump Blueberries that taste great! At first I wasn't sure, since they cost so much less than at any store, but I decided to try them just in case they turned out to be good, and to leave a review for others. They came inside a foil-interior brown bag, each with rubber bands to keep them closed (great idea) and with a frozen water bottle to help keep them cool! That was a very nice added bonus.

Tastes Great
Flavor Name: Variety Pack, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
’ve been really impressed with the Bloom Nutrition Sparkling Energy Drink. It strikes a great balance between effective energy and a clean, refreshing taste. The fact that it contains 180mg of natural caffeine gives a noticeable boost without the jittery feeling or crash that some other energy drinks tend to cause. It feels smooth and steady, which makes it perfect for mornings or a midday pick-me-up. One of the standout features is that it’s completely sugar-free, yet still manages to taste flavorful and crisp. The light carbonation adds a refreshing touch, and the variety of fruit flavors keeps things interesting without being overly sweet or artificial. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into creating a drink that feels both enjoyable and functional. I also appreciate the added ingredients like prebiotics and plant-based caffeine sources, which make it feel like a more mindful alternative compared to traditional energy drinks. It’s nice knowing you’re getting a bit more than just caffeine. Overall, Bloom has created a great option for anyone looking for clean energy, good flavor, and a healthier approach to staying energized throughout the day. Highly recommend!

My New Favorite Energy Drink
Flavor Name: Variety Pack, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
I’ve made the smart switch from sugary energy drinks to Bloom Nutrition Sparkling Energy, and it’s a change I’ll never regret! The variety pack keeps my options fresh, and every flavor is crisp, light, and absolutely delicious. With 180mg of natural caffeine, I enjoy a smooth, steady energy boost without the jitters or crashes that come with other brands. Packed with green coffee bean extract, green tea extract, and prebiotics, I feel great about fueling my body with this drink. Zero sugar and genuinely tasty? Yes, please! I can't recommend it enough! 😊

Great choice!! All flavors!!
Flavor Name: Variety Pack, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
This is a winner!! Great taste!! I just so happened to purchase this at the hospital in the snack room. I took a chance on it because I was thirsty. And I am glad I made this choice. It has caffeine in it. Not enough to notice but it helped me stay woke during the time I was there. This is good, so give it a try.

Healthy and delicious
Flavor Name: Variety Pack, Size: 12 Fl Oz (Pack of 12)
Let’s compare to Alani! I was a HUGE Alani consumer, wanted something healthier, tried more energy drinks than I can count until I ended up HERE with Bloom! I am very happy about these :) These have 180mg of green tea caffeine, Alani has 200mg. After switching from Alani to less mg caffeine energy drinks; I cannot handle an Alani anymore! They give me anxiety, and make me feel really bad. Flavor wise!! Delicious. But let’s compare to an Alani. Bloom peach mango, in comparison to a juicy peach Alani is a much milder sweetness and doesn’t come across too overwhelming while still being just as delicious, and in my opinion they taste even better! Bloom cherry lime, in comparison to Alani cherry twist is a HUGE difference. Alani’s leaves a weird chemical after taste that I cannot get past and makes me refuse to drink them. I am a loverrrr of cherry lime drinks, and this one does have a slight medicinal taste, but it’s more like a sweet tart in comparison. It’s still a win to me! Bloom strawberry watermelon is comparable to Alani watermelon wave!! But not as tart/sour. I am going to be honest in saying this flavor on both brands is probably my favorite! They both remind me of a jolly rancher. Again, I am much happier enjoying the bloom version. Bloom raspberry lemon is not actually comparable to any Alani in my opinion, I would reach to say Alani pink slush, ONLY because they both have a different sweetness that comes with a “pink” brand drink. I used to love pink slush until the flavor became nothing but carbonation to me.. I can’t be sure but feel the ingredients were changed somewhere along the way, as Alani tends to do. But I really enjoy the flavor of raspberry lemon Bloom, and you can definitely taste BOTH flavors. Alani is zero sugar, B12, B6 and biotin, 200mg caffeine and artificial sweeteners. After drinking them for maybe three years, I got burnt out. Bloom has zero sugar, 180mg caffeine, B6, B12, apple cider vinegar, prebiotic fiber, no artificial flavors or color or aspartame. You can decide for yourself, but this is a side by side comparison:)
