About The 48 Laws Of Power

Before Mastery, there was the New York Times bestselling 48 Laws of Power that started it all.
Unethical, cunning, cruel, and instructive, The 48 Laws of Power is the ultimate guide for anyone interested in gaining, controlling, or defending absolute control. In what People magazine declared a beguiling and brilliant book, Robert Greene and Joost Elfers distill three thousand years of the history of power into 48 fundamental laws drawn from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl von Clausewitz, as well as from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl von Clausewitz. Lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.
Some laws teach the need for caution (Law 1: Never Outshine Your Master), others teach the value of trust (Law 28: Be bold), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (Law 15: Completely crush your enemy). However, each law has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold, eye-catching two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is perfect whether your goal is conquest, self-defense, or simply understanding the rules of the game.
