The 48 Laws of Power
Will you become a manipulator, or defend against them?
Helplessness is one of the worst feelings we can experience. In reality, every one of us wants to have power over what happens to us – and also the power to influence our surroundings for our own benefit. Even if we never admit it out loud. In his new guide to indirect action, the author of the bestseller *The Laws of Human Nature* offers a helping hand. This book is a practical manual for anyone interested in the workings of power – whether you want to gain it, respect it, or effectively defend yourself against it. Drawing on three thousand years of history and the stories of famous figures from Niccolò Machiavelli to Henry Kissinger, Robert Greene distils a total of 48 universally applicable laws of power.
Among other things, this book will teach you how to:
- see through pretence,
- not be controlled by your own emotions, - be more cautious and suspicious,
- not get caught up in trivialities,
- master the art of timing,
- plan ahead and prepare for the unexpected,
- properly focus your energy on what is essential and turn your weakness into an advantage.
“If the power game is unavoidable, it's better to excel at it than to reject it or drown in it.” – Robert Greene
What they wrote about the book:
Machiavelli has a new rival. And Sun Tzu had better watch his back. Greene has compiled a checklist of ambitious behaviours. Just reading the table of contents is enough to stir a little desire for promotion.
- New York magazine
Beguiling… readable… fascinating. A clever guide for people who desperately want to be on top.

ROBERT GREENE
He is the author of the bestsellers *The 48 Laws of Power*, *The Art of Seduction*, *The 33 Strategies of War*, and *Mastery*. In his book *The Laws of Human Nature*, he delves into the most important topic of all – understanding people's drives and motivations, even those they are not aware of themselves. Drawing on the ideas and examples of Pericles, Queen Elizabeth I, Martin Luther King Jr., and many others, Greene teaches us how to detach from our own emotions and master self-control. He shows us how to develop empathy that leads to insight, how to look behind people's masks, and how to resist conformity to develop our unique sense of purpose. As well as being a strong following in the business world and resonating deeply in Washington, DC, Greene's books are acclaimed by everyone from war historians to the biggest musicians in the industry (including Jay-Z, Drake, and 50 Cent). Greene attended U.C. Berkeley and the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he received a degree in classical studies. He currently lives in Los Angeles.
