As Freud has suggested, the "good life" has been the quest of philosophers, psychologists, and all "deep thinkers" from time immemorial. The central premise of this book is that there is an intimate, dynamic, and animating analogy between the art and science of war, as practiced by the great classical military strategists and generals, and the art and science of living the "good life."
