The philosophies of the great military strategist, Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and John Boyd, unified with business leaders, such as J. Paul Getty and Simon Sinek, combined with martial artist icons such as Bruce Lee, Ed Parker, and Joe Lewis. This composition explores the strategies of these extraordinary individuals in-depth. It cross-references these ideas against nature and science's most immutable laws, borrowing from some of the world's most distinguished physicists, James Maxwell, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein, Werner Heisenberg, and many others.
