The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene

“Powerful people impress and intimidate by saying less. The more you say, the more likely you are to say something foolish.”

Book The 48 Laws of Power teaches us about 48 key steps towards gaining and maintaining power. Even if you yourself aren’t interested in using these principles, it is of crucial importance that you be aware of them. There are other people in the world who regularly use and abuse these laws, and for your own sake, you need to be able to recognize them and make sure that you can defend against them.

As a bonus, the laws are explained through very interesting stories and parables, so it is enjoyable to read.

You should by all means read this book for yourself. Below, I have written out my book notes, but I couldn’t cover hundreds of pages in just a couple of bullet points. That is why I highly encourage you to create your notes whilst going through the book, and for the time being use mine as a guide on what this book is about.
