Is "The Art of War" principles still relevant today in our fast changing world?

Most definitely! It's often referenced in corporate strategy. Lots in Art of War also for all sorts, such as relationships.

There's a good use in Getting To Yes (I think), the negotiation classic: "Build your enemies a golden bridge", meaning when you have them cornered, rather than massacring them (where they will fight hard and their friends will forever hate you), give them an easy and dignified way out.

I've a few other Eastern books that are pertinent, such as Musashi's Book of Five Rings. They'll be inputted at some time in the next month.
