About this title

Synopsis

Understanding the development and practice of power-based on an in-depth observation of human psychology-has been a part of traditional Chinese thought for thousands of years and is considered a prerequisite for mastering the arts of strategy and leadership. Thunder in the Sky presents two secret classics of this ancient Chinese tradition. The commentary by Thomas Cleary-the renowned translator of dozens of Asian classics-highlights the contemporary application of these teachings.
