THE 48 LAWS OF POWER [Paperback] Greene, Robert

Every one of us secretly desire to hold Power.As human beings we always wish to have our way and expect other’s to follow us and holding power is the best means in having our way.It instills fear or awe in others,making most of the job easier, and the great feeling of wow! — as nothing can be more stronger or powerful .The 48 laws of Power by Robert Greene is all aboutgaining Power by various means and enjoying its fruits .The laws are defined by taking key points from the ancient past to that of the modern day world, where the laws mentioned are followed by various references to the people who attained power through different means viz fighting wars,ruling ruthlessly,conning successfully,leaving a mark of their own through painting,writing and so on.These references help to understand the laws of gaining power in different ways as well as act as a tip to the readers in guarding against falling prey to scams and tricks.The laws while dwelling deep in to the human nature,brings out various aspects of manipulation,selfishness,deceit,treachery,back stabbing,masking the real intent ,conning,tricking and many more things.These laws act as a tool in understanding the mind games being played in different situations at different places by different people.On hindsight when I look into my past,I personally felt the laws giving me the clarity,much to my satisfaction and perhaps may aid in my future decisions.The stories like that of Arnold and Slack (P158,L21) or Sheriff Richard’s and Lustig (the conman (P74,L9))are not only informative but much fun to read.and laugh.A book that increases your knowledge of power,subtle actions of the people around and their nuanced meaning behind it.Ultimately though the laws reflect individuals personal benefit and even show the ‘basic instincts’ , of humans in seeking power but also enrich the readers with knowledge of power I.e the power to see through the masked faces of others and act .A book that fills the reader’s with admiration and respect for the writer for the enormous amount of information and the profound meaning behind each law. A ‘must-read’, book to be read multiple times to understand the Power. and finally,quoting one of my favourite quote mentioned in the book (L19,pg-138) — “When you meet a swordsman.draw your sword.Do not recite poetry to one who is not a poet.

Insightful book

The paper quality can be better but the content of the book holds the value truly an amazing book with plenty of lessons to learn from and apply to real life situations. Got it for ₹599 and I think its worth the price. People who want it for cheaper should browse flipkart first. Overall a great purchase but the incredibly slow delivery and low quality pages is exactly what I was not hoping for.

Good service. The seller did a good job of fulfilling my expectations. The book is of a decent size, like your typical high school textbook. The text is also very concise and well laid out with careful references and explanation.

Explained beautifully every law, but the language is very hard. At the end, it's worth it to read this Chanakya Niti type book to tackle the current War.

It's help and clear my thoughts, buy it if you are facing yourself.

Very good book to readMust read book...

Worth the money . Happy for not buying cheap alternatives of 200-300 rupees
