there's some nice stuff in here about governing the state with virtue and so on. you might like this. a lot of chinese philosophy is also about statecraft

there's also the way of the generals by zhuge liang.

>Knowing People

>Nothing is harder to see into people’s natures. Though good and bad are different, their conditions and appearances are not always uniform.
>There are some people who are nice enough but steal.
>Some people are outwardly respectful while inwardly making fools of everyone.
>Some people are brave on the outside yet cowardly on the inside.
>Some people do their best but are not loyal.
>Hard though it be to know people, there are ways.

>First is to question them concerning right and wrong, to observe their ideas.
>Second is to exhaust all their arguments, to see how they change.
>Third is to consult with them about strategy, to see how perceptive they are.
>Fourth is to announce that there is trouble, to see how brave they are.
>Fifth is to present them with the prospect of gain, to see how modest they are.
>Sixth is to give them a task to do within a specific time, to see how trustworthy they are.

his advice to his son is also good:

>Without learning, you will not broaden your abilities;
>Without quietude, you will not accomplish your learning.
>Being scattered, you will not achieve true excellence;
>Being reckless, you will not control your own nature.

Anything can be applied to everything if you are not a brainlet, you being unable to see that you unsuitable for reading or really anything intellectual whatsoever. You are better off just becoming an engineer or something similar.

Strategy by B. H. Liddell Hart.
as for applicability to everyday life, I think so. The central thesis of the book regards to use of the so-called indirect approach. It's very broad and abstract, I sure one can think of ways of applying it.

WHY?! WHY MUST YOU TORMENT ME SO WITH THESE JEZEBELS? All I want to do is come here for an asexual experience that will exercise my brain but I am constantly titillated by these vixens with their prodigious hips and provocative figures. Can I never satiate this thirst, will I ever know the touch of a woman and enter between her loins? Will my seed ever drip from her moistened hole?
