Description
Power is neither good nor evil—it’s a tool. And if you don’t understand how it works, you risk being controlled by those who do.
In The 48 Laws of Power, author and strategist Robert Greene unveils timeless truths about human behavior, ambition, manipulation, and leadership. Drawing from the lives of great historical figures like Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, Napoleon, and Queen Elizabeth I, Greene distills centuries of strategy into 48 concise, actionable laws.
This book is not just theory—it’s a sharp, sometimes controversial manual that examines the rules of power that govern workplaces, politics, and personal relationships. Whether you’re trying to rise in business, manage tough personalities, or protect your position, these laws will challenge your thinking and sharpen your instincts.
Each law is paired with historical examples, reversals, and practical interpretations—making this book both a philosophical text and a real-world guide to navigating social structures.
