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 into 48 essential 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.
As of 2025-11-19, I suppose that The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene is still among the best books in its niche. Brilliant!

From the professional point of view there`s nothing new in The 48 Laws of Power. But at the end of the day, Robert Greene made it extremely engaging and motivating!
