Best-selling author Robert Greene brought us the book The 33 Strategies of War, and so 33 clearer ways to accomplish your goals in 2013.
In the book, Greene writes "the problem for us is that we are trained and prepared for peace, and we are not at all prepared for what confronts us in the real world - war."
Whether it's an office rival, an overbearing boss, or lack of teamwork — Greene's book is a guide to victory in all things conflict.
The Polarity Strategy
Life is endless battle and conflict, and you cannot fight effectively unless you can identify your enemies. Learn to smoke out your enemies, to spot them by the signs and patterns that reveal hostility. Then, once you have them in your sights, inwardly declare war. Your enemies can fill you with purpose and direction.

The Guerrilla-War-Of-The-Mind Strategy
What most often weighs you down and brings you misery is the past. You must consciously force yourself to react to the present moment. Be ruthless on yourself; do not repeat the same tired methods. Wage guerrilla war on your mind, allowing no static lines of defense — make everything fluid and mobile.

The Counterbalance Strategy
In the heat of battle, the mind tends to lose its balance. It is vital to keep you presence of mind, maintaining your mental powers, whatever the circumstances. Make the mind tougher by exposing it to adversity. Learn to detach yourself from the chaos of the battlefield.
