More about the book

The concept of a "Pyrrhic victory" originates from King Pyrrhus of Epirus, who, after defeating the Romans in a costly battle, remarked that another such victory would lead to his downfall. This historical anecdote highlights the paradox of winning at an unsustainable cost, illustrating the fine line between success and defeat.
