The 48 Laws of Power
THE MILLION COPY INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER 'If power is your ultimate goal, this is the book you need' The Times Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distils three thousand years of the history of power into forty-eight well-explicated laws. As attention-grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers.
Some laws require prudence ("Law 1: Never Outshine the Master"), some stealth ("Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions"), and some the total absence of mercy ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally"), but like it or not, all have applications in real-life situations. Illustrated through the tactics of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissenger, P T Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded - or been victimised by - power, these laws will fascinate any reader interested in gaining, observing or defending against ultimate control.

The Perfect Manual in Search for Power
The 48 Laws of Power is already having a positive impact on me. I have lived my life being the guy that always want to display their skills to every person, which has often caused me to miss out on job opportunities since people (especially those in power) hated being intimidated by me. I never took much reflection on the impact of my behavior on my future. Reading this book written by Mr. Robert Greene is helping me discover the things that hinder me from gaining power, and I am committed to making these changes. Mr. Greene is an amazing writer, who adopts storytelling as the main way through which he emphasizes his 48 laws of power. Storytelling makes reading interesting and points stick better in the mind.
