The 48 Laws of Power

Some people don’t like this book because they believe their life isn’t a battle, that might be true; some are privileged. But even if they should keep these laws in mind, since they might someday be used against them or they might have to use them. 

For people with similar experiences as me, life is a war. This book has given me such amazing advice and information i could use. I will probably read it multiple times throughout my life.

'Machiavelli has a new rival, and Sun-tzu had better watch his back' - New York Times Robert Greene's laws are now famous: Law 1: Never outshine the master. Law 2: Never put too much trust in friends; learn how to use enemies. Law 3: Conceal your intentions. Law 4: Always say less than necessary. At work, in relationships, on the street or on the 6 o'clock News: the 48 Laws apply everywhere. For anyone with an interest in conquest, self-defence, wealth, power or simply being an educated spectator, The 48 Laws of Power is one of the most useful and entertaining books ever; it 'teaches you how to cheat, dissemble, feign, fight and advance your cause in the modern world.' (Independent on Sunday). Robert Greene will teach you the distilled wisdom of the masters - illustrated through the tactics, triumphs and failures from Elizabeth I to Henry Kissinger on how to get to the top and stay there. Wry, ironic and clever, this is an indispensable and witty guide to power. The perfect gift book for the power-hungry (and who doesn't want power?); this is the Concise Edition of an international bestseller. From the internationally bestselling author of Mastery, The Art Of Seduction, and The 33 Strategies Of War.

The set of rules this book talks about are profound and rooted in war and business strategies. Some of them are still valid even after centuries have passed from their origin, however others are not so translatable for modern times. Even though one may not be looking for power (although the book tells you everyone does) at least you can understand the techniques that other could be using against you. It’s a must read in terms of people relationships, rich of stories and interesting examples.

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 – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature. 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.

An awesome book if you want to live out life deceptively and manipulatively! Why did people craze over this book again? it's laughable.

Should we follow the instructions in this book? This will depend on your moral compass and personal preferences.

Should we read this book? I say yes. we need to know evil. not for sake of applying it. but to be able to avoid it. to defeat it.

Josh Clement

Painful to read, partly because of the structure, partly because of the tone and partly because of the content.

I pushed through and finished, can’t say I’m happy I did. 

Not much I can add that hasn’t been said by other reviewers.

Positives? Greene is famous for his research, and it shows. Some of the anecdotes were really enjoyable and sparked a curiosity in histories I would have passed over otherwise. So, if there’s one good thing about this book - it would be it encouraged me to read something else.

this book is written by the devil himself in the hottest place in hell.

Interesting for the historical perspectives and stories, but repetitive and contradictory at times.

Seseru itu!! sukaaa bgt sama penjelasannya, gak nyangka cepet bgt baca buku ini💗💗

This was an insightful book. I stopped reading it a few times simply because the author's style put me off. He seems to condone and encourage you to seek power at all costs, even if it is through disingenuous and malicious methods. However, I kept reading and found the book to be insightful. I'd approach the book as a study into human behavior and how we instinctively choose leaders. What we as a society seek and what we'd ignore or accept in order once we find a leader that has the desired qualities. It's also a study into the politics that permeate in many organizations, both corporate and government. The author approaches it all as a game, asking you to strategize every detail of who you favor, interact with, ingratiate, etc. Again, it is off-putting at times but insightful.
