Did you know there were 48 laws of power?  According to best selling author,  Robert Greene, there are at least that many.  I kind of like knowing what makes people tick, so when I was given this book by a dear loved one, I was immediately interested.  The book was to be a gift for me.  At the time I was told about it, it would be hours before I would be able to get my hands on it, so I immediately started google-ing and youtube-ing for Robert Greene and his book and found a good number of interesting interviews and neat little videos that people had put together regarding this material.  After that, I was very much intoxicated by what the book held within it’s covers.

Here is one of the interviews I found which helps to give an idea of how this book came to be, what it was meant for, and what kind of person the author is:

And, here is a nice little youtube video of the 48 laws with moving background music:

I have only just begun to read this book, but Robert writes in a very pleasant way that works by giving historical examples of both the results of following and not following the rules and accompanying explanations of the examples.  The really great thing about a book like this and this book in particular is that the value of the information will ring true in all aspects of the reader’s life.  It is also pointed out that power is a game that you are part of whether you want to be or not.  It would, of course, be better to know how it works rather than be the constanct victim of it in the hands of those who might not be so kind or forgiving as you might be.

I am sure I will share more on this book as I dig deeper into it’s chapters.  Until then, check it out for yourself and see if it might lend you a helping hand.  Maybe we can get a good discussion going about what this book has to say.
