    About this ebook

    This is a Summary of Robert Greene’s #1 Bestseller: The 48 Laws of Power

    Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, this piercing work distills three thousand years of the history of power in to forty-eight well explicated laws. As attention—grabbing in its design as it is in its content, this bold volume outlines the laws of power in their unvarnished essence, synthesizing the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun-tzu, Carl von Clausewitz, and other great thinkers. Some laws teach the need for prudence ("Law 1: Never Outshine the Master"), the virtue of stealth ("Law 3: Conceal Your Intentions"), and many demand the total absence of mercy ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally"), but like it or not, all have applications in real life. Illustrated through the tactics of Queen Elizabeth I, Henry Kissinger, P. T. Barnum, and other famous figures who have wielded—or been victimized by—power, these laws will fascinate any reader interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.

    Available in a variety of formats, this summary is aimed for those who want to capture the gist of the book but don't have the current time to devour all 452 pages. You get the main summary along with all of the benefits and lessons the actual book has to offer. This summary is not intended to be used without reference to the original book.

    What our readers think

    Readers find this title to be a great summary version of the original book, revealing all the salient points. It is recommended for those who want to discover the content without committing to the expense of purchasing the complete volume. However, some readers found that words were missing in the middle of almost each law, which made it difficult to follow. Overall, it is an easy and not very extensive read.

      The summary is cut and words are missing in the middle of almost each law. I do not recommend it at all.
