Event Details
If you are familiar with Sun Tzu’s The Art of War, you probably know it as a book of strategies that teaches us how to beat our opponents on the battlefield. Hunter Liguore’s The Modern Art of War presents a new interpretation: it isn't about conquering your enemies or getting ahead against your competitors. Instead, the real art of war is the fight to control your mind and the thoughts that rule it, recognizing that the root of conflict begins within. By creating harmony within ourselves, we can help bring more peace into the world. What does a life of peace and harmony look like to you? How do we create mini-wars with our family, friends, or larger community? And how can we usher in renewed peace?
Hunter Liguore is an award-winning writer, professor, and historian, with a lifelong study in philosophy, specializing in the work of Sun Tzu. Her unique writing explores interconnectedness with all people, reciprocal relationships with the natural world, and kindness and empathy for all. Hunter is a writing professor at Lesley University and hosts peace walks in New England.
