The ruler's guide : China's greatest emperor and his timeless secrets of success
Tang, Chinghua2017
Books
Tang Taizong is arguably the greatest emperor in Chinese history - a model leader who ushered in a golden age for the nation, both economically and militarily. When he founded the Tang dynasty, Taizong was only 28 years old, and his chief accomplishments were on the battlefield where he personally slew 1,000 of the enemy. Seeking an accurate mirror to reflect back his flaws, Taizong took the unusual step of populating his court with advisors whose job was to criticise him on a daily basis: his dialogues with the wisest of his counsellors form the core of this book, which is a manual for managing in any sphere, whether it be government, business, the military, athletics, philanthropy and even parenting.
