Detailed description:​

Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi-million-copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control – from the author of The Laws of Human Nature.

In the book that People magazine proclaimed “beguiling” and “fascinating,” Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.
 
Some laws teach the need for prudence (“Law 1: Never Outshine the Master”), others teach the value of confidence (“Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness”), and many recommend absolute self-preservation (“Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally”). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.

9 reviews for The 48 Laws of Power

  1. Brandon-Christopher Bravo

    “The 48 Laws of Power” by Robert Greene is a compelling and thought-provoking book that delves into the dynamics of power and influence in various aspects of life. Here’s my review:

    Robert Greene’s “The 48 Laws of Power” is a fascinating exploration of the strategies, tactics, and principles that underlie the acquisition and maintenance of power. Drawing from historical examples, anecdotes, and timeless wisdom, Greene presents 48 laws that illuminate the intricate dynamics of power dynamics in relationships, politics, business, and personal interactions.

    One of the strengths of the book is its rich and diverse range of historical and contemporary examples, which illustrate each law in action. Greene’s storytelling prowess brings these laws to life, making them relatable and memorable for readers. Additionally, the concise and accessible writing style makes the book engaging and easy to digest, despite its dense subject matter.

    Each law is accompanied by practical insights and advice on how to apply it in various contexts, whether in navigating office politics, negotiating deals, or managing interpersonal relationships. While some laws may seem Machiavellian or morally ambiguous, Greene emphasizes the importance of understanding power dynamics for both self-protection and achieving one’s goals.

    However, it’s essential for readers to approach the book with critical thinking and discernment, as blindly adhering to the laws without considering ethical implications can lead to harmful outcomes. Greene himself acknowledges the potential for misuse of power and encourages readers to use the laws responsibly and ethically.

    Overall, “The 48 Laws of Power” is a compelling and illuminating read that offers valuable insights into human behavior, social dynamics, and the nature of power. Whether you’re a business leader, aspiring entrepreneur, or curious individual seeking to understand the world of power and influence, this book provides a wealth of knowledge and wisdom to ponder and apply in your own life.

    I highly recommend “The 48 Laws of Power” to anyone interested in psychology, sociology, leadership, or personal development. It’s a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers worldwide, offering timeless lessons on navigating the complexities of power in today’s world.

    The 48 Laws of Power” by Robert Greene is a controversial and thought-provoking exploration of the dynamics of power and influence. Drawing on historical examples and philosophical insights, Greene presents a comprehensive guide to understanding and mastering the art of power in all its forms.

    One of the most striking aspects of “The 48 Laws of Power” is its unapologetic examination of human nature and the lengths to which individuals will go to acquire and maintain power. Greene’s laws range from the strategic and cunning to the ruthless and manipulative, offering readers a glimpse into the darker aspects of human behavior.

    Central to Greene’s philosophy is the idea that power is a fundamental aspect of human society, and those who understand its dynamics are better equipped to navigate the complexities of social and professional life. Through his laws, he offers practical advice on how to wield power effectively, whether in personal relationships, business dealings, or political arenas.

    Moreover, “The 48 Laws of Power” is filled with compelling anecdotes and historical examples that illustrate each law in action. From the cunning tactics of Machiavelli to the strategic maneuvers of Napoleon, Greene draws on a wide range of sources to demonstrate the timeless principles of power and influence.

    However, it’s important to note that some readers may find Greene’s approach to be Machiavellian or morally dubious. While the book offers valuable insights into human psychology and social dynamics, some of the tactics described may be seen as manipulative or unethical. As such, readers should approach the text with a critical eye and consider the implications of applying its principles in their own lives.

    In conclusion, “The 48 Laws of Power” is a provocative and compelling read that offers valuable insights into the nature of power and influence. Whether viewed as a Machiavellian handbook or a pragmatic guide to success, Greene’s laws provide a fascinating glimpse into the dynamics of human behavior and the pursuit of power.

    This is the greatest book ever. I can see why so many people of higher status read this book. I like how the examples for each law is put into a historical evidence base example of the laws. The most fun has been the different excerpts from various other works that really allow you to piece together the entirety of the laws and tie everything together. I liked finding myself recognizing characters that have been used in other works and understanding the base and backing of them, for example Eore the donkey from pooh, or Cruella devil from 101 Dalmatians. different things like that make this history buff based book amazing and actually fun to read as much as it is enlightening.

    Introduction:
    Today’s world is full of individuals who will lie, cheat, and steal to take the clothes off your back. They will go to any length to manipulate you or others around you, twisting the truth and bending others to their every whim. Undoubtedly, ‘you’ who is drawn to this book, have experienced the misfortune of being victimized by one of these individuals.

    Perhaps you have thought to yourself…
    “They’re always 2 steps ahead!”
    “Somehow, they made ‘me’ look like the bad guy!”
    “Eventually they’re going to get fired for this!”

    You always find yourself playing defense, you never know what they’re going to do next, and you simply cannot understand why another person would be so horrible.

    Take your power back – Read this book!

    “What is good? All that heightens the feeling of power in man…” – Nietzsche, Friedrich. The Antichrist. 1888.

    Synopsis:
    The 48 Laws of Power is a book comprised of tactics, concepts, and lessons which successfully created or maintained power. Supported with stories from history, both modern and ancient, from the most powerful people and empires which have ever existed, each chapter is crammed page to page with value. For 430 pages you will be inundated with information which is crucial for all of life’s situations where power plays a dynamic (work, social hierarchies, politics, etc.). Written with “the old aristocratic courts” as the backdrop and Machiavelli to set the scenery, this book contends with our darkest inner thoughts during our least favorite interactions with those who have more power than us.

    Things I love:
    Writing – The writing is very casual so that it is available to the widest possible audience. It can be read easily, flowing almost as smoothly as regular conversation. You will not be left wondering what a word meant or stopping yourself to grab a dictionary.

    Printing – This book has some extremely creative printing, placing supporting stories, poems, proverbs and more in the margin and printing “images” using text at the end of each law for visualizing a concept. I have not seen anything similar in a formal book like this.

    Information – Clearly all 48 Laws took an extremely long time to compile and write. You simply cannot comb the annals of history for compelling stories, retelling them concisely, in a brief period of time. This book is a labor of love, and it shows in every chapter.

    Originality – This book comes off as very genuine and creative. Everything about it from the cover, the red text inside, the formatting, it’s all unique. You can tell a lot of thought put forth to conceptualize this work.

    Who Should Listen Instead of Read:
    Relevant to everyone, “The 48 Laws of Power” is excellent, however I believe there are a few people who would not enjoy their time reading this book.
    – If you do not enjoy reading or learning history, this book will be difficult for you. The main content of the text consists of historical examples. The book is of medium length at 430 pages, so if this sounds like you, consider switching to audio.
    – As mentioned above the text is 430 pages, so if you simply do not have the time in your day to dedicate to reading, you will spend a long time on this book. Again, in this instance I recommend switching to audio for efficiency.

    Note: My product images were taken after reading the entire book over many months. The book was flawless when first received.

  5. Creative Reviews

    I recently purchased The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene for my fiancé, who specifically asked for a hard copy. The shipping was incredibly fast—arriving the very next day, which was a pleasant surprise.

    The book itself is a masterpiece, filled with powerful insights and strategies that can be applied in various aspects of life, from personal relationships to professional endeavors. Greene draws from a wide array of historical examples, weaving together the wisdom of powerful figures throughout history to illustrate each of the 48 laws.

    What’s impressive about this book is its practicality. The laws are not just theoretical but come with real-world applications, making it a useful guide for anyone looking to understand the dynamics of power and influence. Whether you’re looking to navigate workplace politics, build stronger relationships, or simply gain a better understanding of human behavior, this book offers valuable lessons.
