		The Art of War Visualized: The Sun Tzu Classic in Charts and Graphs

Author and illustrator of How to Be Interesting, Jessica Hagy is a cutting-edge thinker whose language - comprising circles, arrows, and lines and the well-chosen word or ?two - makes her an ideal philosopher for our ever-more-visual culture. Her charts and diagrams are deceptively simple, often funny, and always thought-provoking. She knows how to communicate not only ideas but the complex process of thinking itself, complete with its twists and surprises. ?For The Art of War Visualized, she presents her vision in evocative ink-brush art and bold typography. The result is page after page in which each passage of the complete canonical text (in its best-known Lionel Giles translation) is visually interpreted in a singular diagram, chart, or other illustration - transforming, reenergizing, and making the classic dazzlingly accessible for a new generation of readers.

"Charts and graphs cartoonist Jessica Hagy has turned [The Art of War] to her own purposes. In The Art of War: Visualized, she updates Sun Tzu's strategic advice as pithy infographics for contemporary readers." -- Fast Company co.Create "Hagy's book may appeal to managers in a way the original doesn't because she's taken what has always been considered metaphorical business wisdom and visualized it, sometimes literally, as business wisdom." -- The Harvard Business Review

The Sun Tzu stuff is great and on first opening the book, the idea of combining it with art sounds great. So I was pretty excited to start reading it. But then after a few pages, it starts to dawn on you that the drawings are not representative of the Sun Tzu passage they appear with. In fact to my mind, many of them are actually quite antithetical. Further, the drawings are highly repetitive, overly simple, and seem like very low energy, low output. It gives me the impression that Ms Hagy got excited about the idea, got a book deal, and then didn't really find the inspiration or dedication to do the concept justice. Maybe that wasn't how the publication actually came to be but that is certainly the impression the book gives me - Absurdly Low Value.

The visuals and analysis from How To Be Interesting didn't translate as well to the telling of Art of War. Venn Diagrams predominate the infographs, which became repetitive, and sometimes not very insightful or humorous. I think her visuals are best when surprising and funny. Best thing for me: opened up my thnking about Venn Diagrams as an interesting addition to presentations and storytelling.

This book has done gross injustice to the original book which is a masterpiece. The author has put random visuals to explain key strategic takeaways from the original. A high-school kid might have come up with better visuals.

I purchased this book from a recommendation I got from [...]
The Art of War is a great book but so hard to casually read. At least for me, having the sayings visualized made the book much more enjoyable and fun to read!
