I have long been planning to read Sun Tzu's Art of war but have found it hard to get into and relate to my practical environment. Chin-Ning was able to take a sometimes hard to fathom topic and make it practical and applicable in our everyday life. She combined good sound business practices and spiritual insights, which makes for captivating and thought-provoking reading. This pragmatic book with its holistic approach that brings together motivation and strategy, based on a good measure of self awareness, will empower women not only to succeed in what they aim for in life but be at peace with themselves in doing so - a compulsory read for today's business woman..

--Andrea Gregory, General Manager, Group Procurement, Air New Zealand Limited

"I know exactly what it's like to live and work as a woman in a man's world. I also know exactly what women are capable of when we put our minds to it, because 'I'm every woman.' This book reveals how to turn your dreams into reality no matter what obstacles stand in your way."

--Chaka Khan

"If ever there was a time in our history when women's leadership was essential that time is now -- and The Art of War for Women provides a blueprint for how women can step confidently and courageously into the leadership zone."

"Filled with practical strategies for negotiating with co-workers, clients, children, husbands and bosses...it turns out that 2500-year-old Chinese warrior wisdom supports women who want to compete without conflicts, combine kids and careers, and turn misperceived weaknesses into strengths at work and home."

--Leslie Morgan Steiner, Mommy Wars editor and online columnist for The Washington Post's "On Balance" working parenthood blog

"We've all witnessed the consequences of interpreting the Art of War from a strictly male point of view. THE ART OF WAR FOR WOMEN offers a more intelligent design for empowering humanity to use the Art of Cooperation as the antidote to the militaristic violence so pervasive in today's world. A must read!"
