📌 ONE QUESTION FROM THE BOOK

What is the wisdom to turn the tables and take initiative in a complex, deceptive situation?

📝ONGO's Reflection

When I first opened this book, I suspected it might be no more than a collection of shallow tricks. Yet the more I turned each stratagem over, the more I had to marvel at its startling insight into the flaws of the human mind. This is no mere manual of warfare, but a philosophy of survival—of responding with suppleness in moments of crisis and conflict. You can taste here the essence of a way of thinking that changes its shape with circumstance and catches the opponent off guard. Discover the delightful truth that, of all stratagems, retreat is best—even flight can be a strategy when things are at their worst.
