Cyrus the Great | Episode 13

Cyrus the Great conquered Babylon, and Sun Tzu would have had a lot to say about it!

2500 years ago, the Greek historian and soldier Xenophon wrote what is now called Cyrus the Great. In this episode, we're exploring the wisdom and virtue of Cyrus, as I take you through my favourite highlights of the story. Even the music is arranged with Persian instruments!

In the Collisions segment, I compare Cyrus the Great to The Art of War by Sun Tzu. This part gets into some of the impressive military strategies that Cyrus utilized.

The final book covered is Sun Tzu for Success by Gerald Michaelson. This is where we tie it all in to how we can use the wisdom of Cyrus and the strategies of Sun Tzu in our lives today.
