35 Times 'Love' was mentioned in my 2 Sun Tzu books

📘 Sun Tzu Sales Secrets14 mentions of "love"

Themes & Contexts:

  1. Love as Yin energy (Pg 6):

    • You present love as a soft yet powerful force that “dissolves resistance” — very aligned with the Art of War concept of winning without confrontation.

    • This positions love as a strategic emotional energy, not weakness.

  2. PLG (Purpose-Love-Gratitude) Framework (Pg 5, 10, 11):

    • “Love” is a central part of your PLG tool, suggesting it’s a key to dissolving ego, resistance, and creating rapport in sales.

    • You use “love” alongside “purpose” and “gratitude” as a transformational trio.

  3. Psychological Insight (Pg 47):

    • You write “Ego loves the last word — give it away.”

    • This is a clever play showing how even ego uses love, and the mature strategy is to let go, again tying to your “win without fighting” philosophy.

Overall:

In this book, love is used as a sales advantage — to build trust, reduce resistance, and win with heart. It’s emotional strategy rooted in yin leadership.


📙 Win Without Fighting with Sun Tzu Art of War21 mentions of "love"

Themes & Contexts:

  1. Love as Strategic Power:

    • You integrate love deeply into your "inner game" of war.

    • Examples include lines like:

      "When you come from love, even your enemy wants to help you.”

    • This shows love as a high-vibration strategy to neutralize threats.

  2. PLG Extended:

    • You deepen the PLG concept here, expanding on how love energizes leadership, sharpens intuition, and prevents burnout.

  3. Love vs Fear:

    • Several paragraphs contrast love and fear, indicating love-based strategy leads to clarity, while fear leads to reaction and misjudgment.

    • This again echoes Sun Tzu’s principle: "If you know yourself and the enemy, you need not fear…” — now reframed through love.

  4. Love in Leadership:

    • You mention how great leaders operate from love — not coercion — to inspire loyalty and trust.

    • In a battle of influence, love becomes your most powerful energy.

Overall:

In this book, love becomes a leadership lens, used not only in strategy but in how one shows up in conflict, negotiation, and influence. It’s the soul of Sun Tzu through a modern, heart-led lens.


🧠 Combined Insight:

Across both books, you redefine "love" not as emotion, but as a leadership and strategic force. You:

  • Frame it as yin energy in contrast to aggressive tactics.

  • Integrate it into the PLG model as one of the 3 keys to winning authentically.

  • Use it to align Sun Tzu's wisdom with modern emotional intelligence, especially for soul-led professionals.

How I Became a Fortune Teller: Leveraging NLP, Fear and Greed, and Motivational Theories

Becoming a fortune teller wasn’t part of my childhood dreams. It started as an experiment, fueled by my curiosity about human behavior and the subtle forces that drive our decisions. Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp.  Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?"  All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow!  What a powerful phrase!  If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you.  This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...
