The 48 Laws of Power Robert Greene 
Rating: 4.0/5 Stars Rank: 143 (Trenton NJ) November 18, 2004 - 5.0/5 stars You probably can't be helped by this book anyway. You are incapable of taking action (ie spending 10 stupid dollars) and look too hard for guidance elsewhere. You are are likely an incorrible victim of the very stratagems described in this book. I write this knowing it probably won't be read, but I'm being paid for my time so it doesn't matter to me. I read this book many times and reread portions of it regularly. I have given more than a dozen copies of it away. It is an incredible book, but it doesn't do the thinking for you. You have to decide when, where and how to apply which laws. Many reviewers missed that point, which explains why so many of them talk about the contradictions in the rules. Those people have missed the point. Life is contradiction. You don't just set the sails and leave them that way, you adjust them with the changing winds. Winds change, women change, your luck changes...even hairstyles change for christsake. Power is a play-it-by-ear game. This book is profoundly thought-provoking, but if you can't think your own way through it then don't waste your time. You'll just wind up another one those moralising reviewers nitpicking at something you feel threatened by because you can't understand it. I love this book. I literally took it with me to a desert island, where I now live (and no, I am not building a fortress to isolate myself, I am using absence to increase respect and honor while I recreate myself) Oh yeah, to the guy who said the historical anecdotes are false, go get killed. To say that the nationalists in china did not grind themselves down in war with Japan but instead entered an "unofficial" ceasefire is just plain stupid. That's what you do when you're losing, you call for a truce. And that's why it was unofficial, because they were hoping to go back and kick Japan's ass later. History is also full of contradictions. If you think I'm lying, pick up a history book from England and see how they describe George Washington. Was he a hero or a traitor? It depends on which country you studied your history in, doesn't it? Ok, I'm done. If you still aren't ready to buy this book you have serious problems. If you really, really can't afford the 10 bucks email me your sob story and I'll buy you a copy.
