Book Reviews of The 48 Laws of Power
Book Review: Essential reading if you have to deal with powerful people
Summary: 4 Stars
No mattter if you find the subject of the acquisition, use and maintenance of power to be distasteful, power is a reality, just as is the atomic bomb. And if you don't know how to deal with it, then get used to the idea that it will be used against you. That is one good reason why this book is essential for anyone who doesn't understand power. Another, more proactive reason, is that unless you understand power, you will yourself remain powerless and your influence for good will be extremely limited.Greene explains most of what you would ever need to know. He is especially valuable in explaining the role of jealousy and personal insecurity in the holding back and dragging down of people of talent, enthusiasm and ambition (regardless of what ends that ambition serves). Yes, you need to know these things. The only reason this book does not get 5 Crowns is that the authors do not do enough to convince the reader that these are really the 48 most important laws of power (might there be more?) and it is produced as a list rather than as a structured approach to understanding and applying the knowledge.
