The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene

The 48 Laws of Power

by Robert Greene

Conquest, Defense, and Domination

In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have masterfully distilled three thousand years of the history of power. Drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz—and from the lives of historical figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum—this multi-million-copy New York Times Bestseller is the definitive guide to absolute control.

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, however, shares one common theme: an interest in total domination. Whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game, this book provides the unvarnished truth.
