The 48 Laws of Power


The 48 Laws of Power

(check it out at wiki; btw, Sun-Tzu's The Art of War is a very good one too. Worth reading!)

For me, it is a good book about the human being. Why? Because understanding the nature of human being is the first step to learn how to master the game of power.

“Learning the game of power requires a certain way of looking at the world, a shifting of perspectives. It takes effort and years of practice, for much of the game ma not come naturally. Certain skills are required, and once you masters these skills you will be able to apply the laws of power easily…”

“The laws are based on the writings of men and women who have studies and mastered the game of power. These writings span a period of more than three thousand years … ”

(quoted from “The 48 Laws of Power”)

The book is thick with lots words. If you don’t have time, you could go browsing these 48 laws and I am pretty sure you would sort of getting some connections to your experiences also.
