Dr. Thomas Cleary (1949-2021), one of the most celebrated translators of spiritual classics into English, earned a PhD in East Asian Languages and Civilizations from Harvard University and a JD from the University of California, Berkeley, School of Law. He is the translator of over seventy volumes of Buddhist, Taoist, Confucian, and Islamic texts from Sanskrit, Chinese, Japanese, Pali, and Arabic.
"Are leaders born or made? If leadership skills can be imparted at
all through words, this book, written some 2,000 years ago, offers
some possibilities. And leave it to Thomas Cleary, who translates
difficult works twice as fast as most of us read them, to bring us
a crucial addition to classical tracts on war and
leadership."—Japan Times
"This is wisdom for the new age. It's almost spooky how relevant
are the words of these Taoist sages in this time of government
excess and civil unrest. There are lessons here that our leaders
and executives, and perhaps most importantly our children, could
profit by."—Thom Calandra, financial columnist, San Francisco
