Just for grins I looked at copies for sale on some book sites. Some were as small as 130 pages, and that's with pictures and other annotations, examples etc. I don't know exactly how much of that is Sun Tzu's words...
My copy of _The Art of War_ is 172 pages. The actual text by Sun Tsu doesn't start until p. 41, and his own words tend to run less than 20% of each page, with the rest being commentary from other interpreters.

"Speed meditation??!!" LOL! That is SO typically American.
Check out the book _Zen to Go_ by Jon Winokur.

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"
