Editor's Note:
Life is Strategy! Beyond the Classic Strategies from the Yijing and Baguazhang for Managing Crises Situations is a fascinating discourse on the application of strategy to all facets of human interaction. Of equal interest to the martial artist, business person, military theorist, or anyone negotiating the uncertainties of the changing world.  How do you achieve success and prevail in a chaotic world? Chinese strategists have grappled with this fundamental question for centuries. Chinese thought advocates understanding the natural order of the world in order to harmonize and flow with it. One of the key ideas that permeates both the military  and the I Ching ( Yi Jing : the Classic of Change) is that success is achieved by blending with and adapting to the constant change manifesting around us. By aligning oneself with the changing circumstances, opportunity and success unfold naturally. Beyond the Battlefield examines military strategy in connection with the I-Ching  and the internal martial art Ba Gua Zhang (Eight  Diagram Palm). Ba Gua Zhang is a self-defense art and health preservation system whose physical movements and combat strategies stem from the I Ching and the ancient book of By understanding patterns of change, one can understand how to function in crises situations or in times of upheaval and change. Therefore, the trigrams and hexagrams of the I Ching can be understood, not as symbols for divination, but instead as coded representations of specific but fluid situations in which unwise actions can undermine favorable circumstances, while wise actions can salvage seemingly hopeless ones. Drawing on ideas from classical military strategy, the Yijing (Book of Changes),  and Chinese martial arts theory, Tom Bisio presents a unique and exciting exploration of how insights from these sources can be deployed to manage crisis situations in all aspects of our daily lives. Suggesting approaches for cultivating a strategic mindset that can be applied to one's relationships, work, and personal self-fulfillment, Beyond the Battleground offers methods of adapting to circumstances, conserving one's own resources, and avoiding or dissolving conflict that will aid any reader navigating the uncertainties of the changing world, including the business person, military theorist, or martial artist.Deftly interweaving his background in East Asian philosophy and history and his career in traditional Chinese medicine with his lifelong interest in the martial arts and military science, Bisio also presents examples of successful strategies from history's great commanders such as Sunzi, Hannibal, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, and Mao Zedong.  Beyond the Battlefield was originally published as Strategy and An Examination of Military Strategy, the I-Ching and Ba Gua Zhang. In Beyond the Battlefield,   Tom Bisio has added more then 50 pages of new text including a an exciting new chapter on applying principles of strategy and change to daily life.
