ABOUT THE 48 LAWS OF POWER
Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against supreme control, from the author of The Laws of Human Nature.
In the book that People magazine proclaimed "seductive" and "fascinating," Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws modified in the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also of the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to PT Barnum.
Some laws teach the need for prudence ("Law 1: Never outshine the teacher"), others teach the value of trust ("Law 28: Take action boldly"), and many recommend absolute self-preservation ("Law 15 : Crush Your Enemy Totally"). However, all law has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and dazzling two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your goal is conquest, self-defense, or simply understanding the rules of the game.
