A New Year's List of Books on Strategy and Leadership

Book categories: Art of War, modern warfare, strategy (below), historical novels, Taoism and Zen (below), the Go game (below), and other books on strategy and leadership.

Some recommended books on Taoism and Zen:

  • Tao Te Ching: The Way of Virtue (Lao Tzu). My favorite translations are by Stephen Mitchell, Gia-Fu Feng, and Jane English
  • Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind and Branching Streams Flow in the Darkness (Shunryu Suzuki's)
  • The Zen Doctrine of No-Mind (D.T. Suzuki's: Princeton Press's book on the I-Ching)
Learning how to play Go is another way to learn strategy. Here is a small list of our favorite beginner GO books:
  • Learn to Play Go: A Master's Guide to the Ultimate Game (Volume I) by Janice Kim
  • Go for Beginners by Kaoru Iwamoto
