The modern definitive work on power and society. Generations that lived without television or radio to distract them used power plays and political intrigue for entertainment and therefore mastered it. This is a very well-written compilation of their secrets and strategies. Don’t miss it! Robert Greene’s book The 48 Laws of Power is an amoral look at the way that people obtain and wield power with one another. Each chapter covers one of the 48 laws that Greene has observed in use in the world. Greene does not say do this or do that. He makes no recommendations. He simply states that these are the laws of power, and if you want power, this is how you go about getting it. The book is revealing in its advice to people who are hungry for power, but it is also useful for those who wish to defend themselves from those who have it or want it and their many schemes and manipulations.

This is a must-read for anyone interested in learning the rules by which the big boys play. Read this, and you might suddenly see threats where before you assumed the best of intentions. Want the scales to fall from your eyes and your naive innocence of politics to change overnight? Read this book.

Examples of what you will learn in the 48 Laws:

• Attract attention to yourself - all publicity is good
• Dress and act like a king to be treated like a king
• Use absence to increase respect and honor
• Keep others in suspended terror: be unpredictable

Like all tools, this book could be used for evil. If you don’t read it, then those who do and wish to use it for their own power plays will have you at their mercy.
