Reviews"Machiavelli has a new rival. And Sun Tzu had better watch his back. Greene . . . has put together a checklist of ambitious behavior. Just reading the table of contents is enough to stir a little corner-office lust." -- New York magazine "Beguiling . . . literate . . . fascinating. A wry primer for people who desperately want to be on top." -- People magazine "An heir to Machiavelli's Prince . . . gentler souls will find this book frightening, those whose moral compass is oriented solely to power will have a perfect vade mecum." -- Publishers Weekly "Satisfyingly dense and . . . literary, with fantastic examples of genius power-game players. It's The Rules meets In Pursuit of Wow! with a degree in comparative literature."-- Allure

SynopsisCunning, instructive, and amoral, this controversial bestseller distills 3,000 years of the history of power into 48 well-explicated laws., Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control . This is the only authorized hardcover edition in the US. In the book that People magazine proclaimed "beguiling" and "fascinating," Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum. Some laws teach the need for prudence ("Law 1: Never Outshine the Master"), others teach the value of confidence ("Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness"), and many recommend absolute self-preservation ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally"). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game., Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

  • Enlightenment for the Working Man

    I began reading this book as a follow up from a resource quote. Since then it has been on my library hold several times. Every time I read it I find something I thought I knew but didn’t. It’s a great book to help understand how things can and do work. Read the book!

    6th book I've bought, gave one to each of my sons and now grand kids. Wish this book was out when I was growing up, it would've saved me a lot of grief.
