He went back to the original Chinese text, and working with the leading authorities on Sun Tzu in Taipei, he retranslate the ancient Chinese, and created a version of Sun Tzu that was completely consistent both the with original text, Chinese philosophy, and his deep understanding of Sun Tzu's methods in real competition.
The resulting work, called The Art of War in Sun Tzu's Own Words, was the first award-winning translation of Sun Tzu and it has become the new standard for translating Sun Tzu, not only in English, but in languages all over the world. His work on this revolutionary new translation provided the accuracy and depth of analysis that allowed him to discover the many hidden secrets of the text. He discovered that much of the text described a series of diagrams that similar to those used in traditional Chinese science to describe relationships between key elements.
This breakthrough allowed him to unlock the many secrets of the text that had been hidden for millennia. This new insight on Sun Tzu led to a series of books adapting Sun Tzu's methods to specific areas of modern competition. Each of these books contained his new translation plus his business adaptation, which drew on his experience using Sun Tzu's system in all these areas. A Broader Perspective During this period Gary was speaking and writing on Sun Tzu, but working primarily with large corporations around the world.
Though he saw Sun Tzu's system as a comprehensive strategic discipline, his main focus was applying that system to the increasingly competitive world of business. When Gary was diagnosed with a deadly, fast-growing form of head and neck cancer, his perspective changed. As he went through a series of surgeries and then radiation therapy, he saw how the principles of Sun Tzu helped him make the life and death decisions that he face.
Though he knew nothing could guarantee his survival, he saw how the ancient principles of Sun Tzu's Bing-fa applied to plotting his survival strategy. At the same time, he saw how most cancer patients literally ran away from the challenge of the disease, surrendering their fate to their doctors, never even realizing that different doctors had very different approaches.
As he recovered from his illness, Gary resolved to reach out to a broader audience beyond large corporations. He resolved to bring the benefits of strategic strategy to as many people as he could with the goal of teaching every day strategy to everyone. This lead to a new series of books, including the Golden Key to Strategy, which won the Ben Franklin Award for the best self-help book in Gary's new book series was recognized by a flood of award recognition.
In last four years three different award committees have given ten of his books awards in seven different categories.
