Weird question: a family member gifted me “33 Strategies of War” for the holidays.
For a bit of background, they are a family member who I have had a combative relationship with for most of my life, mostly childhood. However, as we’ve gotten older, any combat has been reduced to mostly non-communication. I’ll say subjectively, there are moments where if I get to contact them, I feel like there is a lot of passive aggressive things meant to rile me up, that I (mostly) dismiss because it’s so passive aggressive I don’t know, and also feel I could be coloring the interaction with our dynamic from the past, so I let it go.
Knowing this above, I feel like this book is meant to send a message, but having not read it yet, I am curious if Robert Greene fans can let me know what the gift means, and how I should possibly respond when I thank them for the gift.
