Sun Tzu: Art of War

Ideas from the Introduction (19):

There are three main facets to the art of war:
social
psychological
physical.

Wear down the opponent by flight, fostering disharmony, manipulating their feelings, and using their anger and pride against them.

Focus on things which interest the opponent, that which they want to protect and will defend, but which you do not care about. Unsettles them and distracts them while you pursue your true goal. Leaves you unknown and them known.
