The 48 Laws of PowerRobert Greene
Rating: 4.0/5 Stars Rank: 143 Mastery of one's emotions and the arts of deception and indirection are, he goes on to assert, essential. The 48 laws outlined in this book "have a simple premise: certain actions always increase one's power ... while others decrease it and even ruin us." The laws cull their principles from many great
schemers--and scheming instructors--throughout history, from Sun-Tzu to
Talleyrand, from Casanova to con man Yellow Kid Weil. They are
straightforward in their amoral simplicity: "Get others to do the work for
you, but always take the credit," or "Discover each man's thumbscrew." Each
chapter provides examples of the consequences of observance or
transgression of the law, along with "keys to power," potential
"reversals" (where the converse of the law might also be useful), and a
single paragraph cleverly laid out to suggest an image (such as the
aforementioned thumbscrew); the margins are filled with illustrative
quotations. About the AuthorRobert Greene has a degree in classical studies. He is also a playwright.Joost Elffers is the producer of Viking Studio's bestselling The Secret Language of Birthdays, The Secret Language of Relationships, and Play with Your Food.
