Summary: Very powerful knowledge
Comment: With time and discipline, this sort fo knowledge can be very beneficial to man, but in the wrong hands...Could be used for the wrong purposes.
"Thunder in the Sky" is on the exercise of power based on Taoist principles. How to wield it, how to get it, how to manipulate people, and all the rest.
The book is written at a high level, almost a book of wise facts. I'm sure there are better books with specific knowledge on power; But as a general primer on the subject, this book does a good job.
I agree with the other reader that this book is not a direct translation of the original material...but I'm not an academic or a purist in that sense. I didn't care that there was a lot of Mr Cleary's own wording in places.
Lastly, its obvious that you really need a good scholar on the subject to teach this book to you. There are too many areas where I could tell there was a mountain buried under 1 sentance. But don't let that stop you from reading this book. I would recommend this book as a good starting place on the whole subject of power/management/diplomacy.
Rating: 2
Summary: I'll never again read this author or publisher.
Comment: The author seems to be trying to justify some interlink between this philosophy and his own. This is not the straight forward translation I expected.
Rating: 5
Summary: This book holds the answers......
Comment: This book is exhilarating! Contained therein are two separate texts by Taoist sages on crisis/opportunity management theory; lessons from the masters. The simplicity and concision of this book delivers it's message of harmonious striving as effortlessly and sublimely as a child picks a flower; it's advice is wonderful.
