Chapter 1: Estimates is well worth grinding through even if you decide you can't stand the book.
The best part about The Art of War is that it doesn't have to be about war. Just alter the parts that involve vanquishing your enemies and try to look at it as a book about how to come out on top in life in general.
I had to start using Sun Tzu the first time I ended up working hand in hand with salesmen. Very pertinent advice there, especially if you're dealing with misdirecting and manipulative people on a regular basis.
