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.
Law 2: Never put too much trust in friends, learn how to use enemies
Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions
Law 4: Always say less than necessary
Law 5: So much depends on reputation, guard it with your life
Law 6: Court attention at all costs
Law 7: Get others to do the work for you, but always take the credit
Law 8: Make other people come to you, use bait if necessary
Law 9: Win through your actions, never through argument
Law 10: Infection: Avoid the unhappy or the unlucky
Law 11: Learn to keep people dependent on you
Law 12: Use selective honesty and generosity to disarm your victim
Law 13: When asking for help, appeal to people’s self-interest, never their mercy or gratitude
Law 14: Pose as a friend, work as a spy
Law 15: Crush your enemy totally
Law 16: Use absence to increase strength and honor
Law 17: Keep others in suspended terror, cultivate an air of unpredictability
Law 18: Do not build a fortress to protect yourself, isolation is dangerous
Law 19: Know who you’re dealing with, do not offend the wrong person
Law 20: Do not commit to anyone
Law 21: Play a sucker to catch a sucker, seem dumber than your mark
Law 22: Use the surrender tactic: transform weakness into power
Law 23: Concentrate your forces
Law 24: Play the perfect courtier
Law 25: Re-Create Yourself

"There is nothing more intoxicating than victory, and nothing more dangerous." "Lord, protect me from my friends; I can take care of my enemies."
"Never waste valuable time, or mental peace of mind, on the affairs of others—that is too high a price to pay."
"For the future, the motto is, "No days unalert."
