Took me by suprise by the historical annecdotes which kept me quite enthralled Everything is fine except that page The so called laws are derived from old tactics from historical stories or hearsays, most of which are common place cunnings, and thus lacks any wisdom or psychological depths/ truth.
Some of the "laws" as well as the corresponding stories even contradict themselves, such Good El libro se lastima fácilmente, pero creo que si prefieres leer libros físicos si es una buena compra ya que el contenido es de mucho valor, si te da igual leer en físico o en línea recomendaría que lo pidieras en línea pues sale más barato:p A real eye opener to the things that can bring power to those who use them wisely.

This is the exact opposite of my point of view as a leader, The only good TheLaws of Power" by Robert Greene is a controversial and thought provoking exploration of the dynamics of power and influence, Drawing on historical examples and philosophical insights, Greene presents a comprehensive guide to understanding and mastering the art of power in all its forms, One of the most striking aspects of "TheLaws of Power" is its unapologetic examination of human nature and the lengths to which individuals will go to acquire and maintain power.
Greene's laws range from the strategic and cunning to the ruthless and manipulative, offering readers a glimpse into the darker aspects of human behavior, Central to Greene's philosophy is the idea that power is a fundamental aspect of human society, and those who understand its dynamics are better equipped to navigate the complexities of social and professional life.
Through his laws, he offers practical advice on how to wield power effectively, whether in personal relationships, business dealings, or political arenas, Moreover, "TheLaws of Power" is filled with compelling anecdotes and historical examples that illustrate each law in action, From the cunning tactics of Machiavelli to the strategic maneuvers of Napoleon, Greene draws on a wide range of sources to demonstrate the timeless principles of power and influence.
However, it's important to note that some readers may find Greene's approach to be Machiavellian or morally dubious, While the book offers valuable insights into human psychology and social dynamics, some of the tactics described may be seen as manipulative or unethical, As such, readers should approach the text with a critical eye and consider the implications of applying its principles in their own lives, In conclusion, "TheLaws of Power" is a provocative and compelling read that offers valuable insights into the nature of power and influence, Whether viewed as a Machiavellian handbook or a pragmatic guide to success, Greene's laws provide a fascinating glimpse into the dynamics of human behavior and the pursuit of power.
Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this multi million copy New York Times bestseller is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control from the author of The Laws of Human Nature.
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 intoessential 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: Never Outshine the Master", others teach the value of confidence "Law: Enter Action with Boldness", and many recommend absolute self preservation "Law: 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, TheLaws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
