The 48 Laws of Power ebook

What are the 48 Laws of Power? How can I use them to succeed?

The 48 Laws of Power come from Robert Greene’s book The 48 Laws of Power, in which Greene culls lessons from the lives of powerful historical figures to distill a set of laws that you can follow to become powerful in your own life.

Overview: What Are the 48 Laws of Power?

Greene asserts that whether you like it or not, you’re part of a never-ending game of power. You’re either striving for and wielding power, or you’re a pawn being played by someone more powerful than you. You choose your role. 

So what are the 48 Laws of Power, and how do you use them? These laws are for those who prefer to be players rather than pawns. To turn you from an amateur into a master player, Greene has codified the 48 laws of power based on historical examples of people who’ve excelled or failed at wielding power, with glorious or bloody results (or both). Some key principles you’ll learn: Use your enemies, keep others dependent on you, say as little as possible, take credit for others’ work, control all the options, don’t take sides, create a cult following, and don’t get your hands dirty.

You can choose to apply or dismiss these rules – but you can’t escape them .
