Book Reviews of The 48 Laws of Power
Book Review: A must read !
Summary: 5 Stars
One of those those "Infamous" books.Robert Greene has challenged the world
with this.The so called good people may pretend they dont like it.
But this is a must read for everyone in these modern days to get things done and to protect themselves from getting cheated.
The timespan this book scans and the works the author has gone through are unbelievable.From Arthashatra to bible , from B.C to A.C ......
If you dont have time to read this big volume ,at least DO read the concise edition of the same .
Book Review: A must read for all honorable and honest people
Summary: 5 Stars
Most of us would approach something directly, such as asking for a raise or try to deter an unwelcomed event through direct confrontation, which usually end badly and with a lot of yelling, arguing, and basically just emotional trash talk. After reading this book, I've discovered that you can get everything done without people knowing what you're after, and without making them realize that they've given you what you wanted, it's just that beautiful! Your life will be much easier, and you'll enjoy more freedom and less stress. Like I said in the title, it's for the honorable and honest people that do things by the rules but just can't seem to get anywhere so they become frustrated. You'll finally understand why being a good person is so difficult by traditional definition, and you'll learn how to prevent others from taking advantage of you, and see right through their schemes.Book Review: A must read for any career minded professional.
Summary: 5 Stars
Seconding the other positive reviews of this book, I would add that any person in the sales, marketing, negotiation, management, or legal fields should make this a must read. If you're not a natural Type A / High D personality this will help you understand the nuances of interacting with those who are. Plus, the book offers great history lessons that may be read in less than 10 minutes each.
Book Review: A must read!!!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
The worst part about this book is that it ends. It's an excellent collection of historical accounts from leaders all the way down to everyday people, and how they used the dynamics of these laws to progress. If you don't read this you deserve everything you don't get!Book Review: A must, but not everyone's cup of tea.
Summary: 5 Stars
Since beginning of history, the world is divided into two: the one of those who rule and the one of those who are ruled or the subjects. Though coexisting on the face of the same earth, these two worlds have completely different sets of norms, morals and principles. The world of the subjects is that of physical survival but within bounds of realistic simplicity. The world of the rulers is a contant, complex game of surviving with power and control. One is at a constant war of wits with competing forces whose own survival depends on one's elimination.
The common man is oblivious to the ruthless ways of this world. He calls it "Politics" and preffer to stay away from the filth. For the rulers though, this world is a day to day reality. Today's world of business and politics are built on the same lines and the game played there are also the same.
This book is about the world of the rulers and their ways of surviving. It may be a bit too much for the simple, common man's understanding, but it is a must for the ones who belong to the world of power, or the ones who want to enter it.
