Product Description

Part life-coach, part Machiavelli, part Yoda, Balthasar Gracian [1601-1658], a Jesuit priest, wrote this collection of pithy sayings four centuries ago. Gracian speaks to the twenty-first century as well as the seventeenth. It's only a matter of time before someone markets Gracian's life advice to busy executives, like Sun Tzu or the Book of Five Rings (if it hasn't been already). In the meantime, Gracian can be our little secret.--J.B. Hare

5.0 out of 5 stars nothing better, July 14, 2009
By TheLyingThief (seattle, Wa United States) - See all my reviews
Nothing and no-one better. Just very very clever, practical, and thought provoking. Machiavelli in church.
