THE 48 LAWS OF POWER PDF
Description
Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing
work distills 3,000 years of the history of power into 48
well-explicated laws. This bold volume outlines the laws of
power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the
philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Carl von Clausewitz
and other infamous strategists. The 48 Laws of Power will
fascinate any listener interested in gaining, observing, or
defending against ultimate control.
One of the 75 most wise must read books. The concept of
"power" referred to in the book "The 48 Laws of Power" is
a "pan power" concept and does not specifically refer to
political maneuvering. More often than not, it is
synonymous with "control' and "manipulation". The cases
in the book cover everything from national strategy and
political maneuvering to business strategy and tactics
The 48 Laws of Power breaks the usual logical pattern and
interprets the successes and failures in history from a
reverse thinking perspective in a straightforward way.
Although the interpretation of American utilitarianism may
sometimes be difficult to accept, it is full of wisdom and
thought-provoking depth.
