Presenting the ultimate manual for those intrigued by the pursuit, observation, or protection against absolute control – a bestseller with millions of copies sold, as featured in The New York Times. Authored by the acclaimed writer of The Laws of Human Nature, this book is an amoral, cunning, and ruthless guide.
In this captivating work, Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled the history of power spanning three millennia into 48 indispensable laws. Drawing inspiration from the wisdom of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz, as well as real-life figures like Henry Kissinger and P.T. Barnum, the authors have crafted a beguiling and fascinating journey through the realm of power.
Each law imparts its unique wisdom: some emphasize prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others advocate for confidence and boldness (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many revolve around self-preservation at all costs (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Regardless of their individual focus, all these laws share a common theme – the pursuit of complete dominance.
The 48 Laws of Power comes in a striking two-color package, making it the perfect companion for those seeking conquest, self-defense, or simply a deeper understanding of the intricate rules governing power dynamics.
