andbenn reviewed The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene
Deep, rich, historical.
4 stars
Reportedly banned in some schools and prisons, so it goes.
This book has a chapter for each of the rules. Most of the rules you've likely heard before. Each presents with historical references to ancient Asian or European stories about then famous or important people and how they used or abused each rule. The author adds his interpretations and thoughts on each.
It's a pretty deep read, and has a ton of historical references to second/third level of people then.
