What are The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene
Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws.
They do this by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. People magazine referred to the book as “beguiling” and “fascinating.”
Many rules encourage absolute self-preservation (Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Completely). In contrast, others teach the virtue of confidence (Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness), and some laws teach the need for prudence (Law 1: Never Outshine the Master). However, there is one thing that all laws have in common, and that is an interest in ultimate dominance.
The 48 Laws of Power comes in a striking and eye-catching two-color box, and it is an excellent choice for you whether your goal is to conquer, defend yourself, or grasp the rules of the game.
