The New York Times Bestseller

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive,
The 48 Laws of Power is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

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.

Product description

Review

“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

From the Back Cover

THE BESTSELLING BOOK FOR THOSE WHO WANT POWER, WATCH POWER, OR WANT TO ARM THEMSELVES AGAINST POWER . . .

A moral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distills 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 Kissinger, P. T. Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded -- or been victimized by -- power, these laws will fascinate any reader interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

Powerful Stories, but the print quality could be better
This book presents a compelling and insightful narrative. The information is engaging and thought-provoking. I highly recommend this book to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the subject. However, the print quality could be improved for a better reading experience; the paper and print resolution are poor, making some text, particularly small text and red letters, difficult to read. Despite this production flaw, the content is excellent.

    The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene is a controversial and thought-provoking exploration of the dynamics of power and influence. Drawing on historical examples and philosophical insights, Greene presents a comprehensive guide to understanding and mastering the art of power in all its forms.

    One of the most striking aspects of "The 48 Laws of Power" is its unapologetic examination of human nature and the lengths to which individuals will go to acquire and maintain power. Greene's laws range from the strategic and cunning to the ruthless and manipulative, offering readers a glimpse into the darker aspects of human behavior.

    Central to Greene's philosophy is the idea that power is a fundamental aspect of human society, and those who understand its dynamics are better equipped to navigate the complexities of social and professional life. Through his laws, he offers practical advice on how to wield power effectively, whether in personal relationships, business dealings, or political arenas.

    Moreover, "The 48 Laws of Power" is filled with compelling anecdotes and historical examples that illustrate each law in action. From the cunning tactics of Machiavelli to the strategic maneuvers of Napoleon, Greene draws on a wide range of sources to demonstrate the timeless principles of power and influence.

    However, it's important to note that some readers may find Greene's approach to be Machiavellian or morally dubious. While the book offers valuable insights into human psychology and social dynamics, some of the tactics described may be seen as manipulative or unethical. As such, readers should approach the text with a critical eye and consider the implications of applying its principles in their own lives.

    In conclusion, "The 48 Laws of Power" is a provocative and compelling read that offers valuable insights into the nature of power and influence. Whether viewed as a Machiavellian handbook or a pragmatic guide to success, Greene's laws provide a fascinating glimpse into the dynamics of human behavior and the pursuit of power.

    The 48 Laws of Power is one of those books that really makes you rethink how people interact and how power dynamics work in everyday life.

    What I liked most is how it’s not just about gaining power but also about recognizing when it’s being used against you. It’s written in an engaging way, with each law broken down into stories, analysis, and takeaways.

    This isn’t light reading—it’s deep and unapologetically honest—but that’s what makes it so valuable. 5/5 stars for anyone looking to understand people and the world better!

    Introduction:
    Today’s world is full of individuals who will lie, cheat, and steal to take the clothes off your back. They will go to any length to manipulate you or others around you, twisting the truth and bending others to their every whim. Undoubtedly, ‘you’ who is drawn to this book, have experienced the misfortune of being victimized by one of these individuals.

    Perhaps you have thought to yourself...
    “They’re always 2 steps ahead!”
    “Somehow, they made ‘me’ look like the bad guy!”
    “Eventually they’re going to get fired for this!”

    You always find yourself playing defense, you never know what they’re going to do next, and you simply cannot understand why another person would be so horrible.

    Take your power back – Read this book!

    “What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power in man…” - Nietzsche, Friedrich. The Antichrist. 1888.

    Synopsis:
    The 48 Laws of Power is a book comprised of tactics, concepts, and lessons which successfully created or maintained power. Supported with stories from history, both modern and ancient, from the most powerful people and empires which have ever existed, each chapter is crammed page to page with value. For 430 pages you will be inundated with information which is crucial for all of life’s situations where power plays a dynamic (work, social hierarchies, politics, etc.). Written with “the old aristocratic courts” as the backdrop and Machiavelli to set the scenery, this book contends with our darkest inner thoughts during our least favorite interactions with those who have more power than us.

    Things I love:
    Writing – The writing is very casual so that it is available to the widest possible audience. It can be read easily, flowing almost as smoothly as regular conversation. You will not be left wondering what a word meant or stopping yourself to grab a dictionary.

    Printing – This book has some extremely creative printing, placing supporting stories, poems, proverbs and more in the margin and printing “images” using text at the end of each law for visualizing a concept. I have not seen anything similar in a formal book like this.

    Information – Clearly all 48 Laws took an extremely long time to compile and write. You simply cannot comb the annals of history for compelling stories, retelling them concisely, in a brief period of time. This book is a labor of love, and it shows in every chapter.

    Originality – This book comes off as very genuine and creative. Everything about it from the cover, the red text inside, the formatting, it’s all unique. You can tell a lot of thought was put forth to conceptualize this work.

    Who Should Listen Instead of Read:
    Relevant to everyone, “The 48 Laws of Power” is excellent, however I believe there are a few people who would not enjoy their time reading this book.
    - If you do not enjoy reading or learning history, this book will be difficult for you. The main content of the text consists of historical examples. The book is of medium length at 430 pages, so if this sounds like you, consider switching to audio.
    - As mentioned above the text is 430 pages, so if you simply do not have the time in your day to dedicate to reading, you will spend a long time on this book. Again, in this instance I recommend switching to audio for efficiency.

    Note: My product images were taken after reading the entire book over many months. The book was flawless when first received.

    Das Buch ist einerseits eine gute Form aufzuzeigen, wie andere Menschen uns im Alltag manipulieren können und wir uns selbst davcor schützen können, andererseits gibt das Buch einem einen speztifischen Leitfaden, wie man andere Menschen gnadenlos ausnutzt um seine eigenen Ziele zu erreichen, was ich äuserst kritisch zu betrachten finde. Dennoch faszinierte mich das Buch und gab mir Einblicke in das menschliche Denken und Verhaltensweisen. Daher finde ikch das Buch super gelungen. Es ist nur wichtig zu betonen, dass man einige der Ratschläge aus diesem Buch nicht in jeder Situation seines Lebens anwenden sollte, um toxischen Verhaltensmustern zu entgehen. Wenn Menschgen erst einmal in so eine defensive gelangen und ihr eigenes Leben im Angriffs und Verteidigungs Modus spielen, wird es nicht lebenswert. Daher bleibt euch bitte immer selbst treu, egal wie sehr euch eine Handlung dieser Richgtung auch zum Erfolg verhelfen mag.
