The 48 Laws of Power
by Robert Greene (1999)
(book / video)
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.
Fast Company called the book a "mega cult classic," and the Los Angeles Times noted that it turned Greene into a "cult hero with the hip-hop set, Hollywood elite and Pr*son inmates alike."
Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled 3,000 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. It’s ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
